Brigg Town go top of NCEL Division One and follow up with Saturday win

Brigg Town spent the week at the top of Division One. A 3-0 win under the lights on Wednesday 4 November sent them to the summit, and captain Josh Jordan was named man of the match for his performance at the back. Brigg said "a lot of noise these past few days" had been answered by the players on the pitch.

On Saturday 7 November they beat Athersley Recreation at the EC Surfacing Stadium, with Brigg crediting the impact of the substitutes. Left-back Dom Mellor was named star player in front of a crowd just shy of 300. Athersley's account named Tom Booth and goalkeeper George Bason for keeping Brigg out for 65 minutes. Before the game, Athersley manager Robbie Gainey had pointed out that his side were joint third in the table on away form alone.

On Tuesday 3 November, Goole completed the double over Wakefield. Adam Baskerville and Akram Lasalire, both signed that week, scored on their debuts. Goole then drew 1-1 with Appleby Frodingham on Saturday 7 November. Cal Stenton gave the visitors a half-time lead, his fourth goal of the season, and Goole equalised midway through the second half. It was Appleby Frodingham's third draw in a row, with goalkeeper Jordan Quibell singled out for his second-half saves. Goole also confirmed that Igor Mlynarski, Liam Owen and Taylor Nicholson have left the club.

Armthorpe Welfare won at Selby Town on Saturday 7 November in front of 317, which the club said included many of its own supporters, and extended their unbeaten run to ten games. Jaden Taylor was their man of the match. On the same day, Harrogate Railway Athletic beat Club Thorne Colliery in their Remembrance Day fixture, with James Hampson scoring twice. Winterton Rangers lost 2-1 at home to Wombwell Town. Robbie Start said Wombwell "got away with one", and Wombwell's man of the match was goalkeeper Sebastian Malkowski.

Club Thorne Colliery have strengthened their squad with the signing of 19-year-old striker Donovan Day from Brigg Town, following his two-year apprenticeship at York City. Winterton added a left-footed defender, George, on dual registration from Beverley Town. At Athersley Recreation, the under-21s went out of the NMDFL Mini-Cup at Armthorpe, and George Blaydes left the game at half time with what turned out to be a fractured jaw that needs surgery.
