Saturday's First North action review

However, the game of the day did manage to get the referee`s nod as leaders Scarborough Athletic travelled to Glossop North End, who moved into second place, level on points with Boro, after a 2-1 win.

A crowd of 463 saw Ben Richardson put the Hillians in front after 16 minutes and Jamie Rainford add a second on 68 minutes. Jameel Ible caused a nervy finale when he reduced the deficit near the end but Glossop held on.

Ossett Town fluffed their lines as they could have gone top when they hosted lowly Droylsden at Ingfield.

The Bloods spoiled their chances with Steve Hall bagging a brace in the 24th and 57th minutes and Liam Caddick a third two minutes from time, with Tyrone Gay having pulled one back for Town on 26 minutes.

Brighouse Town are sixth after a 1-1 draw at Yorkshire rivals Tadcaster Albion.

A crowd of just over 300 saw Luke Parkin put the visitors in front after less than five minutes and Josh Greening level matters 11 minutes later.

Trafford moved into seventh place after a 4-0 battering of Bamber Bridge, who they leap-frogged, at Irongate.

Mark Derbyshire netted a hat-trick for Trafford in the 36th, 48th and 72nd minutes, with Jonah Gosling sandwiching the other on 40 minutes.

Hyde United and third-bottom Ossett Albion shared a 0-0 Ewen Fields draw, while second-bottom Goole AFC lost 2-1 at the Victoria Pleasure Grounds to fellow strugglers Prescot Cables, whose Lloyd Dean after 42 minutes and Rob Doran 11 minutes later outgunned Lewis Dennison`s 36th minute opener for the Vikings.

Colwyn Bay are eighth and Colne tenth after a 1-1 Llanellian Road draw in which Scott Bakkor`s 13th minute opener for the hosts was eventually cancelled out four minutes from time by Mark Ayres.
