Worsbrough Bridge won 4-0 at Nostell MW – a fifth straight win.
Keelan Grist scored a hat-trick and Connor Glavin also netted for Bridge who remain in the lowest play-off place.
Dearne and District are a point behind them in sixth after winning 7-1 at home to Glasshoughton Welfare. The score was 1-1 at half-time but Dearne recorded a third straight win. Jamie Austin netted four with Harry Anderson-Richardson adding two and Curtis Wilkinson one.
Athersley Rec lost 3-2 at home to promotion contenders Ilkley Town. Carter Tingle put the hosts in front then, after the visitors went 2-1 up, Nathan Perks levelled only for Ilkley to net again. Charlie Auty saw a late equaliser ruled out then was sent off in the aftermath.
