Nostell Miners Welfare
Scott Smith’s 93rd minute equaliser rescued a draw for new-look Nostell Miners Welfare with West Yorkshire League outfit Sherburn White Rose.
Sherburn, who are back in the top tier of the WYL and have several ex-NCEL players in their side, were on course for victory after Aaron Hodgson’s goal.
The draw was one of several poor results for a number of NCEL sides.
Garforth Town and Liversedge were heavily beaten by heavy-duty Evo Stik League outfits.
Garforth lost 6-0 to Warrington Town, the big and strong Division One North champions. Liversedge were hammered 9-1 by Clitheroe.
Reality set in at ambitious Retford United as they were thrashed 7-0 by lower league Hallam. Retford’s new and large management team are so embarrassed that they have offered to refund disgruntled supporters.
Brighouse Town triumphed 3-0 in the local derby with Campion. Tom Robinson (2) and Jacob Buchanan scored.
Alex Lill scored during Parkgate’s 2-1 defeat at Teversal, while Pickering Town were beaten at Sunderland RCA.
