Traffic delayed Pontefract Collieries on their trip to Borough Park, and after the game got underway in front of a 641-strong crowd, Scott Allison’s goals in either half were enough for a 2-1 win.

The Reds are one of three teams with 100% records in the BetVictor Northern Premier N/West Division - Marske United earned their third win as they beat Dunston 2-1 thanks to Andrew May’s late winner.

Also up at the top are Ramsbottom United, 1-0 winners over Trafford thanks to Tom Kennedy’s 74th minute goal.
