AFC Heckmondwike are three points clear at the top of Division Two with two games remaining.

Heckmondwike defeated New Carlton 5-3 last Saturday as Dom Carr bagged a brace, with Lewis Boddy, Andrew Douglas and Luke Newsome also on target and followed up with a 5-0 win over Overthorpe on Wednesday night.

Waterloo thrashed Thornhill United (Ashley Edmondson) 7-1 last Saturday but Keckmondwike need just four points from Saturday’s game with Dewsbury Westside and next Wednesday’s trip to Howden Clough to be crowned champions.

Jordan Crossland and Jason Field scores as Overthorpe earned a 2-2 draw against AFC Sheaf, while a Jamil Sair brace was not enough to prevent Dewsbury Westside losing 4-2 at home to West End Terriers.
