Carl Gray opened the scoring for the Tigers on 32 minutes and when the top scorer added a second just one minute before half-time, followed by a Lewis Henderson penalty in first-half stoppage-time the visitors looked to be cruising to victory.

TIBS battled back after the interval though to score two goals, but Lealholm hung on for the 3-2 win and maintain their healthy seven-point advantage over second-placed Whitby Fishermen’s Society.

Lealholm head to Darlington RA Reserves this Saturday.
