NPL Division One East Round-Up

Liversedge striker Gavin Allott

Liversedge are one win away from all but clinching the Division One East title after winning 2-0 at challengers Marske United in front of nearly 1500 people.

Victory over Brighouse Town on Monday afternoon will effectively seal the title and promotion due to their superior goals difference.

Before sides were locked on 86 points going into the humdinger but there was more pressure on Marske as they had to win. ‘Sedge could afford to draw.

Gav Allott, who has been there and done it, eased any nerves by firing the opener home in the 21st minute from the edge of the penalty area.

‘Sedge had to wait until the final ten minutes to strike again.

Ollie Fearon pounced on a defensive error to break clear on goal.

Rather than score himself, the striker laid the goal on a plate for Nicky Walker.
