THACKLEY earned an excellent 2-2 draw at home to Premier Division leaders Bridlington Town in the Baris Northern Counties East League – but they could have expected much better after dominating the first half.

The visitors may have fashioned the first chance but the Dennyboys scored the opening goal as Andy Philp netted in the second minute.

Former Guiseley manager Mitch Cook’s side did force two efforts just before the half-hour mark but a Dean Walters header then had former Guiseley midfielder Vince Brockie’s side back in control.

Chances followed that could have settled the game in the home side’s favour but Brid halved the deficit in the 72nd minute through substitute Craig Hogg.

That led to an uneasy last 18 minutes for the home side and Hogg earned his side a share of the spoils when he drilled in from close range in the first minute of stoppage time.

LIVERSEDGE were also at home and they eased to a comfortable 4-0 win over Selby Town.

Nathan Cartman set them on their way when he broke the deadlock in the tenth minute. Sedge did not add to their lead in the first half but Dave Bordman netted ten minutes after the break.

Two late goals then doubled the tally, with Cartman adding his second and Joe Jagger completing the rout.

The only one of division’s three local representatives with an away game were BRIGHOUSE TOWN and they suffered the narrowest of defeats.

Town lost 1-0 at promotion-chasing Tadcaster Albion, Carl Stewart’s 71st-minute strike being enough to settle the game.

There was a good home victory for ECCLESHILL UNITED in Division One as they overcame Hallam 3-1, despite the visitors going into the break a goal to the good.

An Adam Todd penalty on the stroke of half-time saw Hallam go 1-0 up but the home comeback started with an equaliser from Victor Balas and continued when Marcus Edwards converted from the spot.

It was completed as Edwards bagged his second goal late on but it could have been more had Balas seized the chances that came his way.
