TADCASTER Albion maintained their leadership of Northern Counties East League division one in sensational style.

They were trailing 2-0 at Hall Road Rangers with just six minutes left on the clock but hit back to snatch a 3-2 victory.

Hall Road, who have just appointed former York City and Scarborough defender Steve Richards as their manager, stormed in to a 2-0 lead through Callum Dransfield and Adam Walker.

When Rob Youhill headed home for Tad on 84 minutes it looked like being a consolation for Jim Collis' men.

But Joe Gaughan equalised with a close range effort and Youhill netted his second in injury time to complete an amazing comeback.

Selby Town's good run in the NCEL premier division came to an end when they went down to a 2-1 defeat at Arnold Town.

After a tight first half, the Nottinghamshire side took the lead through Ben Hutchinson in the 63rd minute but the Robins equalised in the 79th minute when recent signing Richard Whitfield scored a fine goal.

The injury-hit Selby side looked to be heading for a useful point but Andy Davies snatched a late winner.

Alex Mathie's Pickering Town returned to winning ways with a storming 4-2 defeat of NCEL premier stragglers Long Eaton United.

Steve Swailes struck as early as the second minute to set the goal machine in gear before Ricky Greening and James Drinkall piled in with two more before the interval.

Long Eaton had pulled one back before half time through Steven Young and Carl Adams hit another to turn up the heat on third-placed Pikes.

But a 90th minute own goal by Long Eaton's Josh Watts confirmed the points would be going in only one direction.

Harrogate Railway twice came from behind to salvage a point at home to Sutton Town.

Sam Warburton fired in a first equaliser and Graham Marchant a late second leveller with three minutes left on the clock.

Goole were forced out of the UniBond League Presidents Cup by Ilkeston Town despite a Godwin Douglas brace putting them back on level terms at 2-2. A late double in the last ten minutes spelled out the Vikings' exit.
