Palmer enjoyed a slice of luck after the break when his attempted cross flew straight into the top corner to put Rosette 3-1 up, but two more goals from Town levelled matters up again.

With just four minutes left on the clock, Jack Worthy capitalised on a defensive mix-up to fire in and claim all three points for the table-toppers.

Guy Newbold was Rosette's man of the match, while Aaron Howard, Johnny Hunter and Lee Lambert netted for Town.

Goal Sports still have a chance of catching Rosette, and they bounced back from their League Trophy final heartbreak with a 3-2 win at home to Sleights Reserves.

Sports missed an early penalty after Paul Hill was felled in the area, Tyson Stubbings blazing over the bar.

Hill won another pen shortly after and this time Kieran Friett made no mistake in putting the home side 1-0 up.

Player-boss Mark Plumpton then made it 2-0 with a 20-yard free-kick that curled over the wall and into the back of the net.

Stubbings atoned for his penalty miss by firing his side 3-0 up, but just as they did against Edgehill Reserves in Wednesday's final defeat, Goal Sports switched off again and almost threw away the win.

Sub and man Sleights man of the match Rob Ingham fired in twice to give the Whitby side hope, but Goal Sports held on to take the three points.

Plumpton said: "The second half was shambolic, we didn't play well at all, but at least we've taken the win."

Fishburn Park Reserves put the nine men of Eastway Sports to the sword, winning 9-0.

Jack Kipling opened the scoring for Carl Oliver's side, but was sent off shortly afterwards after swearing at referee Nathan Brown.

That didn't halt Park, who led 7-0 at the break but took their foot off the gas after the interval.

The rest of their goals came courtesy of Kane Brannick and Callum Halley doubles and strikes from Finlay Morris, Aaron Cook, Chris Hurworth and sub Rich Fletcher.

Oliver said: "Credit to Eastway, they turned up with nine men when they could've called it off and they kept going throughout the game."

Itis Itis Rovers drew 3-3 with Commercial.

A Ryan Summers pen handed Commercial the lead but Ellis Wilson ensured the sides went in level at the break.

Veteran striker Dan I'Anson fired in after a melee in the box to make it 2-1 to Commercial again, but back came Rovers, this time Forsyth levelling the game up.

Wilson chipped the Commercial keeper to make it 3-2, but Luke Jenkinson's left-foot strike grabbed a point for the away side.

Commercial keeper Daz Palmer was in fine form to collect the man of the match honours.
