Matthew James netted on 16 minutes to set Avenue on their way, Christopher Hall doubling the lead eight minutes later.

Daniel Bacon hit back for Worksop on 68 minutes but a Stephen Downes penalty two minutes later sealed Avenue's win and moved the
m up to seventh.

Guiseley lost ground with a 2-1 loss at Kendal Town, for whom Alex Taylor bagged a brace. Craig Bentham grabbed Guiseley's last-minute consolation.

Harrogate Railway also had a 2-2 draw, at home to Radcliffe Borough. Dan Thirkell gave Rail a 26th-minute lead but the home side eventually needed a Zaphiah Thomas leveller 15 minutes from time.

Garforth Town endured a miserable afternoon, losing 6-2 at high-riding Curzon Ashton despite a strike from Tom Greaves and an Adam Jones own goal.
