Toolstation NCEL Premier Division Round-Up 

Penistone’s James Young

Penistone Church had to settle for a 2-2 draw after leading twice against Barton Town at home.

Church had been hoping to bounce back from Saturday’s humbling at Bottesford Town move further from the relegation zone.

Their chances looked good when Luke Stewart put Steve Lenthall’s men ahead after just three minutes.

However, Barton responded quite quickly through Tom Waudby.

Left-back James Young fired a free kick under the Barton wall on the stroke of half-time to restore Penistone’s lead.

But the precious win wasn’t forthcoming as Ben Hinchcliffe claimed a point for Barton with 20 minutes to go.

Albion Sports striker Robbie Fox

Albion Sports suffered late heart-break at Throstle Nest against fancied Sherwood Colliery.

Robbie Fox’s 52nd minute penalty put Albion on course for victory until a Timothy Gregory equaliser.

William Norcross penalty in the 94th minute stole the points for Sherwood.
