- By Remy Cabache

DIV ONE EAST ROUND-UP

MARSKE United kept hold of second place thanks to a 4-0 win over Loughborou­gh Dynamo.

Marske took the lead in the 31st minute thanks to a Craig Gott penalty.

They added a second goal three minutes later when Adam Wheatley scored from close range.

The game got no better for Dynamo in the second half as United made it 3-0 thanks to Josh Rowbotham flicking home a deep Callum Martin corner.

Just three minutes later United added yet another goal, Gott set up Matty Waters who fizzed a low shot from 20 yards out into the bottom corner to seal a 4-0 win. Brighouse Town ensured they stayed tied with Marske United on 25 points after beating

Belper Town 2-0 at home.

Ten minutes in, Aaron Martin headed home a Gabby Johnson cross after Belper failed to clear a free kick, putting Brighouse up 1-0.

After the goal Belper were able to find their footing and settle into the game, but they were unable to create a clear chance.

Town’s failure to create a chance left them trailing at the break.

That cost them when in the 57th minute Mohammed Ibrahim crossed to Thomas Robinson who headed the ball across the goal to Johnson who nodded it into the top corner.

Also near the top of the table, Pontefract Collieries dispatched of bottom of the table Cleethorpe­s Town with a 3-0 win.

Michael Dunn opened the scoring in the third minute after a mazy run to give Pontefract the early lead.

Ponte should’ve added another after eight minutes, as Dunn somehow shot over from six yards out following an excellent Dylan Parkin save.

The Collieries doubled their lead 12 minutes later when Eli Hey slotted home the rebound from Dunn’s shot.

Town thought they had gotten a goal back through Jon Oglesby, but he was flagged offside, leaving Cleethorpe­s 2-0 down at halfway.

Ponte added to their lead seven minutes into the second half to make it 3-0, this time after Jake Picton steered a Glyn Cotton free kick home from six yards out, which would be enough to seal their sixth win of the season. Pickering Town’s last gasp 2-1 win over

Carlton Town saw them climb leapfrog Wisbech Town into 18th place.

Through the first half an hour at Calton Town’s game against Pickering Town it was Carlton who had the best chances.

Pickering keeper Charlie Andrew twice produced fine saves to keep the hosts out, notably a finger tip save after just four minutes.

Andrew’s saves proved to be the highlights of the first half as each team battled the wind and bobbly pitch.

Pickering Town were able to break through in the 51st minute when Billy Logan burst through Carlton’s defence and finished into the bottom corner.

In the 75th minute Joe Brothwell equalised for the home side after Pickering failed to deal with a long throw in.

However, with basically the final kick of the ball in the 93rd minute, Joe Danby scored a wonder free kick from 25-yards to seal the win for Pickering.

In this bottom-half of the table clash between Stocksbrid­ge Park Steels and Wisbech Town, Stocksbrid­ge claimed their fourth win of the season with a final second 1-0 win.

Throughout, each team was able to create chances but were denied by the crossbar or a goalline clearance several times.

Much of the second half passed without event, until the final seconds when Scott Ruthven wonderfull­y set up Ben Rhodes .

Rhodes calmly scored the game’s only goal to lift Stocksbrid­ge up to 15th in the table.
