NPL Division One East Round-Up
New goalkeeper Ben Townsend saved a first half penalty during his Stocksbridge Park Steels debut.
Townsend kept out a spot kick during the 1-1 draw against North Shields at Bracken Moor.
He was unable to keep out a second Shields penalty late in the second half and it was left to substitute Dylan Youmbi to be the hero with his last minute equaliser.
Brighouse Town drew 2-2 with Lincoln United.
An own goal and Jack Boyle’s strike earned Brighouse a draw.
Pontefract Collieries were winning at unstoppable leaders Worksop Town until a controversial decision turned the game in the hosts’s ways.
Joe Lumsden gave the Colls a seventh minute lead but Liam Hughes’s debatable penalty levelled matters.
Ex-player Vaughan Redford then netted twice.
Lumsden would score again to make things interested but it ended on a sour note for him as he was shown a second yellow card in the closing stages.
Bridlington Town held a 1-0 half-time lead through Lewis Dennison but they were beaten 2-1 by Hebburn Town.
