Lealholm edge home in thriller
LEALHOLM moved up to fifth thanks to a narrow 4-3 win against Stokesley.
They twice took the lead in the first half thanks to an own goal and a penalty conversion from Darren Harland only to see their lead cancelled out when Kevin Hugill's free-kick found its way through the wall and John Bennett broke down the left before shooting across the keeper.
Two goals early in the second half from Harland and a 30-yard effort from Mike Knight did the damage for Lealholm with another own goal this time in Stokesley's favour setting up a tense finish.
