IT WAS a good day for Silsden as they reclaimed the Division One leadership in the Hallmark Security League, while the team they knocked off the summit dropped points.

The Cobbydalers beat tenth-placed Abbey Hulton United 2-1 after Aiden Kirby netted on the half-volley in the last minute.

Chris Wademan had given the home side a first-half lead but the visitors hit back six minutes after the break through Oliver Griffiths.

Silsden’s main title rivals Litherland REMYCA were held to a 1-1 home draw by Alsager Town, leaving Danny Forrest’s Cobbydalers two points clear with a game in hand.

Only third-placed Prestwich Heys can displace either of the top two, and if Silsden win tomorrow night at Bacup Borough that will confirm their promotion but not the Division One championship.

Liversedge were left frustrated again as another home game was shelved due to the weather.

Sedge should have hosted neighbours Albion Sports in the Toolstation Northern Counties East League Premier Division but the pitch at Clayborn was waterlogged.

Jonathan Rimmington’s men should be back in action tomorrow when they travel to Rainworth Miners' Welfare for a League Cup quarter-final.

Sedge’s top-tier counterparts Thackley lost 2-1 at Hall Road Rangers.

The home side’s Reagan Waud scored in each half before James Rothel made it a tense finish with the Dennyboys’ reply seven minutes from time.

Only two points now separate 19th-placed Hall Road and 18th-placed Thackley but both clubs are now safe after 20th-placed Harrogate Railway Athletic  lost 3-0 at home to confirm their relegation to Division One.

Eccleshill United are still in with a chance of automatic promotion from the lower tier, and that will be decided tomorrow night when the Eagles host Yorkshire Amateur.

The Leeds-based outfit are currently second but are above Sean Regan’s men on goal difference.

With just one game to play, the winner will grab the runners-up spot and promotion.

However, should they draw, fourth-placed Grimsby Borough would snatch second spot with a home win over struggling East Yorkshire Carnegie, also tomorrow.

Brighouse Town secured 17th place in Evo-Stik Division One North with a 3-0 win at Droylsden’s Butchers Arms in their final fixture of a difficult campaign.

Town’s hat-trick hero against the Bloods was Aaron Martin as he broke the deadlock just before half-time, added another in the 73rd minute and then wrapped up the scoring into stoppage time.
