Liversedge and Brighouse Town were the big winners of the three local representatives in the Baris Northern Counties East League Premier Division but Thackley are still the highest-placed of the trio.

The Dennyboys moved up a place to fifth despite being held to a 1-1 draw at Lincoln Moorlands Railway.

Sedge edged into the top half of the table with a 4-0 home win but Town remained eighth despite a 5-1 victory at Pickering Town.

THACKLEY also had a scratch squad as they were missing six players and rushed out to re-sign the semi-retired Stuart Waite on the eve of the game.

They took the lead at Lincoln in the eighth minute when Andy Philp volleyed home following good work by Paul Whitely.

Brice Tiani was on the end of most of the chances Thackley created but the former Guiseley and Bradford Park Avenue player did not have his scoring boots on.

The Dennyboys felt aggrieved in the second half when Philp and substitute Mark Bett both had strikes ruled out, one for a foul on the home goalkeeper and the second for offside.

And they had to settle for a share of the spoils when Lincoln hit an injury-time equaliser. A free-kick was awarded just outside the Thackley area and Luke Edwards made the most of it with a fine shot into the top corner.

LIVERSEDGE took an early lead as well but they did not allow their advantage to evaporate at home to Hall Road Rangers.

Jerry White gave them a tenth-minute advantage and centre-back Darryl Leach doubled Sedge’s tally midway through the first half.

Scott Driscoll netted the third after the interval and Alex Hallam’s 79th-minute strike wrapped up the scoring.

BRIGHOUSE were also in front after ten minutes, with Anthony Haigh on target.

Pickering soon levelled but did not go into the break on equal terms as Haigh grabbed his second goal in the 39th minute.

Tom Matthews added Town’s third just after the hour and a Nick Jagger strike soon followed, before Matthews was on target again for his brace.
