HARROGATE Town stretched their UniBond League premier division run to eight games unbeaten as they saw off Burscough 2-1 courtesy of Scott Bonsall's late winner.

Clayton Donaldson had earlier put Town into the lead only for Drew Hyland to equalise.

Selby Town went down 2-1 at Armthorpe in the Northern Counties East League premier division.

Mark Rankine scored from close range after 32 minutes to put the Doncaster side in front and although Selby almost levelled the scores when Andy Cygan and Alan Clayton both went close, Armthorpe increased their lead in the 66th minute with Rankine's second.

The Robins were back in the game with 15 minutes remaining when Kristian Baxter was brought down in the penalty area and Alan Jackson slotted home the spot kick, and they were unlucky not to get a point when a Cygan header hit the bar.

A first-half strike from former York City trainee Luke Ibbetson was not enough as Pickering Town lost 2-1 aftr two late goals by Glapwell.

In NCEL division one, Tadcaster Albion crashed to a 4-0 defeat against Parkgate.
