Spennymoor moved into second place in the UniBond League First Division after coming from behind to win at Workington last night.

The home side took the lead after 12 minutes through Andy Johnson, but Moors got back into the game after 52 minutes when Steve Preen was brought down and he converted the spot kick. Moors looked as if they would have to settle for a point against ten men until two minutes from the end when Preen was again brought down in the box and he scored from the penalty.

Brandon United went seven points clear in the Albany Northern League with a 2-0 win at West Auckland. The home side were on top and Jonathan Milroy missed two chances, but Brandon took control five minutes into the second half when Andy Purvis scored from the edge of the area. And they went further ahead on the hour when Mark Patterson flicked on a cross for Rob Marsden.

Prudhoe are still in relegation danger after they were beaten 3-1 at home by Shildon. Nigel Bolton scored a penalty after six minutes before being sent off for kicking an opponent.

A David Bayles shot rebounded off the bar into the net off Prudhoe keeper Simon Hall before Chris Creamer pulled a goal back. Durham City improved their chances of finishing third with a 2-0 win at Tow Law. Paul Rowntree scored twice for Durham while Scott Nicholson missed a penalty for the home side.
