Wigginton Grasshoppers moved to within two points of York Minster Engineering Football League premier division leaders Dunnington with a 2-1 win at Terrington Glory.

Jordan Grose headed the hosts into an early lead but Lee McQuade levelled before the break and a Lee Stewart penalty midway through the second half won it for Wigginton, who have played three games more than Dunnington.

A penalty also decided a fiery affair between Copmanthorpe and vsitors Rowntrees, who had Joe Cox and Chris Johnson sent off.

Cop ’keeper Ben Sheehan converted his fourth spot-kick of the season in the last minute to seal a 1-0 win.

Dringhouses extended their unbeaten run to seven games with a 1-1 draw at Riccall.

After a goalless first hour, the deadlock was broken by Wayne Brooke’s penalty, but Dave Watson levelled for ’Houses on 70 minutes. Promotion-chasing St Clement’s beat division one leaders Aviva 2-0.

Mike Heels gave Saints the lead before the break and a last-minute goal from Scott Nicholas condemned Aviva to a second consecutive 2-0 home defeat.

Second-placed Malton & Norton suffered their first defeat in six games, conceding two second-half goals in a 2-0 loss to Pocklington.

White Horse could still take the title, but a third away defeat on the trot did not helped their cause.

They lost 2-0 at in-form Tockwith, who are eight games unbeaten, with James Neville putting the home side in front on 20 minutes and Graham Hutchinson adding a second goal late on.
