Heslington are just three points away from winning Leeper Hare York and District Football League division two after beating third-placed Ouseburn for the second time in three days.

The 5-0 win courtesy of goals from Simon Musgrave (2), Martin Clarke, Andy Gray and Simon Gatenby means that another at second-placed Tockwith tomorrow night will seal the title, although a draw could let Ouseburn in through the back door and a Tockwith triumph will mean Heslington need to win their last game against Poppleton.

Elvington beat Barmby Moor 4-0 with a Luke Dove hat-trick and an Adam Bruce single.

Dringhouses ended their premier division programme with a 3-0 defeat of Old Malton with fit-again Mark Woodward (2) and Graham Mitchell on target.

Easingwold beat Hamilton Panthers 1-0 to move out of the bottom two in division one.

York RI missed the chance to claim second in division three after being hammered 7-1 by Rawcliffe. Danny Coulson (3), Terry Taylor, Adam Morton and Shane and Darren Brandon got the goals.

Two goals from Sam Farthing and a Mike Morton penalty spearheaded Tadcaster Albion's 3-2 home win over champions Sheriff Hutton.

Wheldrake got their first away point of the season with a 3-3 draw at Norton with goals from Jonathan Scutt, Steve Gilmer and Robin Cockerill.

Bishop Wilton beat Heworth 4-1 with Nathan Booth, Dave Burrows, Lee Clarke and James Harris scoring.

Hemingbrough will be promoted with Sheriff Hutton to division two.

Leaders Selby Town can take a huge step towards the Northern Counties East League premier division title if they win at Sheffield tonight.
