NORTHERN COUNTIES EAST

CLEETHORPES TOWN surpassed a century of points in style as they hammered AFC Mansfield 4-1 at home.

Leigh Hutchinson opened the scoring after half an hour for the champions, who were presented with the NCEL trophy after the final whistle, before he rounded off a fine team goal to double the hosts’ lead.

Mansfield pulled one back, but Luke Mascall and Brody Robertson completed the scoring to take Cleethorpes on to 102 points for the season.

Despite not being in action, Barton Town Old Boys’ relegation was confirmed, after a series of results failed to go their way.

Parkgate came from behind to stun third-placed Bridlington Town 2-1 and guarantee their safety, while Harrogate Railway drew 1-1 at Bottesford Town and Rainworth Miners Welfare spurned numerous chances but still managed a 2-1 win at Garforth Town, thanks to Ryan Booker’s late header.

Elsewhere, there were 3-1 away wins for Handsworth Parramore and Armthorpe Welfare, who beat Retford United and Clipstone respectively, and Hemsworth Miners Welfare defeated Staveley Miners Welfare at home by the same scoreline.

Pickering Town won 2-1 against Athersley Recreation and Worksop Town played out an entertaining 3-3 draw against Maltby Main.
