SATURDAY'S MATCHES

At last a full set of matches

BLACK DRAGON BADGES PREMIER NORTH

Dearne and District picked up yet another three points but thanks to a dogged defensive display by Staveley Reserves backed up with some impressive goalkeeping. The final score was 2-1, Josh Moore and Enzo Guarini with the goals for Dearne, Liam Kamsika scoring for Staveley. Harworth Colliery look to have turned the corner after a disappointing first half of the season. They crushed Chesterfield Youth 6-0, Ewan Plant setting the trend with goals on 21 and 34 minutes, Liam Smart with the third just before half time. The second half followed a similar pattern, Plant completing his hat trick in the 53rd minute, Adam Morrison, midway through the half before Jason Kearsley wrapped it up seven minutes from time. There was another hat trick at Yorkshire Main, this one coming from Josh Gelder, his three goals coming in the 55th, 75th and 89th minutes against a Woodhouse Colts side who weren’t helped by incurring two red cards. James Bytheway gave Hatfield Town a 13th minute lead at home to SJR Worksop, adding a second a minute after the restart. Four minutes later SJR were back in the game, Luke Tong pulling one back and that’s how it stayed until stoppage time when Chad Lake pinched a point for the visitors. No change of fortune for Glapwell, playing their first home game since October 7th. AFC Bentley ran in seven goals, with six different scorers. A first minute strike by Steve Garner followed by another shortly after from Owen Hall must have caused that sinking feeling for the home side which deepened when Zack King and Josh Bowkett doubled the lead by half time. Craig Aspinall slotted home Bentley’s fifth four minutes into the second half, Shaun Carrington adding another on the hour. Five substitutions for Glapwell put the brakes on, limiting Bentley to one more, Bowkett getting his second in added time.

Main were two up at half time thanks to Liam Cooper’s 20th minute goal and another from Jordan Buckham on 37. Although Hassan Daud got one back after 70 minutes, Phoenix couldn’t find the equaliser. Elite AFC beat Kiveton Miners Welfare 5-2. Scorers for Elite were Tommy Pallett with two, Dec Richards, Sam Limber and Sammy Amissah, Kiveton’s reply doming from Harrison Case and Rio Murray/
