Champions White Horse shared the points at Pocklington, where Danny Graham’s opener for the Church Fenton side was later cancelled out by a leveller from Pocklington’s Sam Morrell.

The two bottom sides in reserve ‘C’ both recorded useful home wins to drag their beaten opponents into the relegation battle.
