Old Malton St Mary's closing in on York Minster Engineering League crown

The win - in which Marcus Godsell got both goals - leaves them just six points away from clinching the title given their vastly superior goal difference over their rivals.

In any case, Old Malton have five games remaining and so it seems likely that goal difference will be an irrelevance come the end of the season.

Huntington Rovers saw any dwindling title ambitions disappear following their 2-1 home defeat from Sporting Knavesmire.

Rovers, the long-time front-runners who have hit a terrible run of form, took the lead just before half-time when James Edmond converted a penalty, only to see the visitors respond in style immediately.

From kick-off, the ball was played back to Tom Kite who lashed it over the Rovers' keeper and into the net from behind the half-way line.

Huntington keeper Drew Brabbs saved a second-half penalty from Knavesmire, only to see Kite double his tally from the resulting corner.

Despite late Rovers pressure, Knavesmire hung on to collect an important three points in their battle for survival.
