Josh Batty gave Cleethorpes a first half lead and Joe Lumsden equalised on 55 minutes.
Morpeth Town maintained their lead at the top with three first half goals as they beat Gresley 3-0.

David Carson’s penalty gave them the lead, and that was the first of three goals in 18 minutes, Michael Turner and Liam Henderson scoring the others.

Brighouse Town stand alone leading the chasing pack as they beat AFC Mansfield 3-0, thanks to goals from Aaron Martin, Thomas Haigh and Adam Jones.

They are five points clear of Pontefract Collieries, who overturned a 2-0 half-time deficit to win 4-2 at home to Belper Town.

Craig Nelthorpe’s penalty and Pitou Crouz had the visitors in the lead, but the game was turned on its head by three goals in six minutes after the hour mark.

Chris Jackson, Michael Dunn and Spencer Clarke put Colls 3-2 in front, and Eli Hey’s last minute penalty made the points safe.

Marc Newsham gave them a 12th minute lead, and Leon Mettam equalised but a minute later Cribley made the difference.

Bottom club Stocksbridge Park Steels edged a point closer to the teams above them with a 0-0 home draw with Marske United.

Ossett United recorded their third straight win as they beat Lincoln United 1-0, to move within a point of the play-offs.

Jonathan Fairweather and Toby Hilliard had them 2-0 up inside 11 minutes, and Eoin McQuaid made sure of the points shortly after the hour mark after Karl Demidh had pulled one back from the penalty spot.
