The title race in the Leeper Hare York and District Football League premier division was blown wide open again after leaders Dringhouses suffered a second successive away defeat.

Houses lost 3-2 at Nestl Rowntree as home substitute Alan Howard headed in the winner.

Mark Woodward had given Dringhouses an early lead but it was cancelled out by a Danny Leach header before the break. Nestl then went in front when Matty White lobbed the keeper, Lee Atkin-son levelling the game at 2-2.

T&L's Paul Tanton scored for both teams as his side lost 4-3 to Wigginton, whose other scorers were James Vine, Jamie Seal and Ashley Hill. Andrew Best and John Carter scored Selby's other goals.

York St John's missed a penalty but still won 3-0 at Huntington through Mike Craig (2) and Alex Brisley.

Thorpe, with goals from Craig Pickles and Craig Whiteley, won 2-1 at Bishop-thorpe, Joe Gardham replying.

Old Malton extended their unbeaten away run to seven with a 3-0 win at Haxby. A Neil Wilford free-kick opened the scoring with Jamie Hopwood and Phil Hill adding.

Chris Burgess put Dunnington in front at Copmanthorpe but a cracking volley from Terry Hibbitt levelled the scores at the break and two goals each from Mark Featherstone and Jack Scott gave Cop their first home win in five games.

A goal in each half from Simon Collins saw Malton Bacon Factory win 2-0 at Pocklington.

Five of the six division one games were drawn. The only side to win were Hamilton Panthers, who trailed to a Nick Rank goal at Stamford Bridge but took the points with second-half strikes from Paul Barron and Jon Beech.

Danny Walters gave leaders Heslington the lead at Rufforth but Anthony Evans snatched a draw by levelling in the 87th minute.

Danny Clements levelled for Tockwith after Tom Hovington had given visitors Elvington the lead, Elvington being indebted to goalkeeper John Crowe for their point.

Wilberfoss and Easingwold drew 0-0, as did Post Office and New Earswick, who had finished level on three of their last four meetings, while Ouseburn and Norwich shared six goals.

Darren Horsfield gave Ouseburn the lead but goals from Richard Arnold, an og and Richard Hunter put Norwich in control. Horsfield got a second and Richard Dwight equalised with virtually the last kick.
