Saturday's Premier Division action review

Spartans enjoyed a good 3-1 win at managerless Colwyn Bay, but had to come back from being a 40th minute Zac Corbett goal down.

Danny Parker eventually equalised with 20 minutes to go and nine minutes later the visitors` were ahead through Michael Richardson, with Alex Nicholson making sure with a third a minute from time.

The Quakers had a crowd of 1,141 at Heritage Park but had to settle for just one point from a 1-1 draw against third-placed Stoubridge.

The home side got off to a great start too when Stephen Thompson put them in front after less than four minutes had elapsed on the clock.

But the Glassboys battled back and equalised through Karl Hawley on the half-hour mark. And they held firm against some incessant pressure in the second half to earn a battling point.

Fourth-placed Nantwich Town also drew on their trip to Borough Park against Workington AFC.

The Dabbers also had to come back from a goal down when Connor Tinnion put the Reds in front after 12 minutes. It took the visitors until the 65th minute to pull back on level terms through Josh Gordon.

Salford City replaced Sutton Coldfield Town in the top five after winning 2-0 on the Coles Lane 3G, James Poole giving the Ammies a 13th minute lead that Danny Webber added to on 25 minutes.

New Ilkeston FC boss Andy Watson saw his side beat seventh-placed Buxton 3-1 at the New Manor Ground. And they were behind at the break too, trailing to Bradley Barraclough`s 32nd minute effort.

Michael Williams equalised just past the hour-mark and the same player gave the Robins the lead on 70 minutes. Ten minutes later Dexter Atkinson made sure the points stayed at home with a third.

Ramsbottom United picked up only a fourth point of a miserable campaign to date with a 1-1 draw at the Harry Williams Riverside Stadium against Mickleover Sports.

The visitors led through Jake Bennett`s 16th minute goal right until stoppage time at the end of the game when Jordan Bove popped up to salvage a point for Rammy.

Whitby Town and Lincolnshire neighbours Stamford AFC and Grantham Town occupy the three other relegation places, with only the Seasiders failing to pick something up on Saturday.

They lost 3-1 at Dales Lane against Rushall Olympic, for whom new signing Massiah McDonald bagged a brace on 21 and 37 minutes, sandwiched by another from Carl Palmer, with Lee Mason replying for Whitby just before the break.

Stamford earned a good 1-0 win at Causeway Lane against Matlock Town, courtesy of Tom McGowan`s 57th minute effort, while Grantham were pegged back at The Meres by a late Skelmersdale United leveller.

Gregg Smith gave the Gingerbreads a 16th minute lead that Ged Kinsella equalised eight minutes after half-time. Lee Beeson restored the home side`s lead from the spot just past the hour-mark but Kenny Strickland`s penalty six minutes from time prevented the hosts from earning a valuable win.

Scott Spencer`s early fourth minute goal eventually proved enough for Hyde United at Ewen Fields against Barwell, while Ashton United recovered from last Saturday`s disappointing Emirates FA Cup exit at Barwell`s next opponents, AFC Rushden & Diamonds, to win 2-1 at The Grove against Halesowen Town.

Danny Bragoli gave the Yeltz the lead right on the stroke of half-time. Eleven minutes after the restart Martin Pilkington equalised and then Dale Johnson won it for the visitors on 65 minutes.

Elsewhere, Marine AFC pulled level on points with hosts Frickley Athletic after winning 1-0 at Westfield Lane, courtesy of Danny Mitchley`s 39th minute effort.
