Ups not Downes for Avenue
BRADFORD PARK AVENUE kept up the good work in the UniBond Premier Division with a 1-0 win at Boston United on Saturday in front of 1,212 fans.
Stephen Downes won the contest with a 44th-minute spot kick to keep high-flying Avenue's promotion quest very much on track.
Ossett Town had few home comforts against Whitby Town who took a 3-1 victory with goals from Andy Campbell, Andrew Leeson and Ged Dalton.
Andy Lee's 18th-minute effort had put Town back level 1-1.
In the First Division North, Harrogate Railway also refused to lie down at Prescot Cables, twice equalising to take a gutsy 2-2 draw. Paul Stansfield's goal and a Ben Jones penalty gave Rail' a point.
James Dean hit a hat-trick as FC Halifax Town hammered visiting Salford City 6-1.
Nick Gray also added a brace with Richard Marshall also on the scoresheet.
Garforth Town lost 3-1 at AFC Fylde with Milton Turner's 90th-minute spot kick a mere consolation for the Miners.
Shane Kelsey also struck a penalty in vain, his effort from 12 yards part of a brace which earned nothing as Ossett Albion lost 3-2 at Chorley.
Wakefield lost 2-1 at home to Trafford and were trailing 2-0 when Chris Howarth hit home a 75th-minute penalty.
In First Division South, Goole AFC took a 2-2 draw from their trip to Cammell Laird. Micky Goddard's penalty put Goole in front and after Cammell twice hit back, Adam Green's 73rd-minute strike gave Goole a point.
