There is no change at the top of the table after the three leading sides drew.

Darlington RA still enjoy a four-point advantage over Stokesley SC. They shared the points in a 2-2 draw with third-placed Coxhoe Athletic.

James Chapman headed RA into the lead but after Wayne Gredziak levelled, David Hutchinson sent Coxhoe in at the halfway stage 2-1 up.

Hutchinson was sent off five minutes into the second period and five minutes later Nigel Bolton equalised for RA who then had Lee Johnston red-carded with 20 minutes remaining.

With both sides down to ten men chances were limited but RA did get the ball into the net only for the effort to be disallowed for a foul on the keeper.

Stokesley SC, who have a game in hand on Darlington RA, drew 2-2 at Annfield Plain. Craig Johnson was an early marksman for the visitors but Tony Quinn restored parity before the break.

Quinn then raised the hopes of the home side that they might inflict a rare defeat on the championship challengers but James Middleditch struck to earn Stokesley a valuable point.

Fourth-top Cleadon SC failed to close in on the leading trio when they went down 3-1 at home to Birtley Town.

The visitors were two goals up by the 35th minute courtesy of Calvin Magnus and Tony Thirkell and worse was to follow for the home side as Thirkell hit the target again in the 73rd minute. Andrew Potts reduced the deficit with ten minutes remaining but his goal was too little, too late for Cleadon.

The goals flowed for New Marske at Cleator Moor Celtic. A hat-trick by Billy Millington and one in the last minute from Ben Walker earned the Seasiders a 4-1 victory - only their fifth in 16 attempts. Zak Rudd had given Celtic the lead.

Ferryhill Athletic also scored first but were defeated at Harton and Westoe. A penalty inspired the visitors but goals immediately before and after half time by Keith McRitchie and Scott Tooley swung the initiative to Harton who made sure with a last-minute effort by Jonathan Mullen.

Jarrow went nap at Whitehaven where they just about had the result sewn up after taking a four-goals lead through John Grant, with a hat-trick and Andrew Barclay.

Gareth Holmes reduced the arrears but Jarrow went nap through Dean Patton before Holmes completed a hat-trick with two goals in the last eight minutes.

Gateshead Reserves remain bottom of the table after losing by an only goal to Windscale for whom Joe Shepherd netted in the 75th minute while there were no goals between Washington Nissan UK and Wolviston.

Ryhope CW are now just a point off fourth place after edging Shotton Comrades 2-1 with first half goals by Carl Robb and Stephen Rochester. Gary Evans found the net for Shotton on 65 minutes but the visitors failed to find an equaliser.

Sport Catterick bowed out of the North Riding County Cup losing 5-2 at BEADS where they fielded a severely weakened side. Rob Durrans bagged a brace for Catterick.
