HALF of the games in the Northern Counties East Premier Division fell victim to the excessive wet weather, including the Liversedge versus Thackley derby, but there was a significant result for Eccleshill United.

Lee Elam’s Eagles were 3-2 winners at Grimsby Borough, who were second in the table.

A quick-fire brace from Eli Hey midway through the first half set Eccleshill on their way but they had to survive a late scare before banking their three-point maximum.

Hey opened the scoring, slotting home in the 20th minute, and he doubled it five minutes later after some good pressing from the visitors.

Talent Ndlovu looked as though he had wrapped up an easy win for the Eagles when he netted a superb volley on the hour mark but Borough were far from finished.

With minutes remaining second half substitute Dan Trott headed past Eccleshill keeper Jordan Moorhouse.

The nail-biting finish came after Tom Jamieson calmly slotted a second past Moorhouse, in the first of four added minutes. Elam’s side climbed two places to 13th while Grimsby slipped to third.

Campion suffered a 3-0 defeat which dented their title hopes in Division One as it came at leaders Skegness Town.

The east coast outfit snatched a sixth-minute lead through Cenk Acar and they never looked back.

Luke Rayner-Misrty netted nine minutes after the break and Ben Davison added a late third as Skegness held onto their four-point lead at the summit while the Red and Blacks dropped to fifth, nine points off the pace with just one game in hand.

Steeton stretched their unbeaten run to four games with a 3-1 win at eighth-placed Holker Old Boys in the North West Counties Division One North, and they had to come back from a half-time deficit.

Robbie Wallace had given the home side a first half lead but goals from Michael Armitage, Toby Jeffrey, direct from a corner, and Luke Baldwin completed an excellent second half comeback.

Brighouse Town are back inside the top half of the BetVictor North West Division after a 1-0 win away at Widnes.

Luke Rawson netted the only goal of the game on the stroke of half time, and he was unfortunate not to add as he was twice denied by the crossbar in the second half.
