Scarborough Athletic fought to a 0-0 draw despite having a man sent off. Whitby Town and Bridlington Town were also in action.
Simon Heslop was sent off late in the first half after a collision with an Ashton United player, at the Tameside club, on Saturday.
Jono Greening's men then had to scrap for a 0-0 draw at the in-form club to stay fifth and keep up their promotion challenge in NPL Premier.
Greening said Heslop's red card was the wrong decision by the officials:

Whitby Town, meanwhile, have dropped to five points outside the play-offs in eighth, following a 4-3 defeat at Radcliffe. Fit-again Jacob Hazel quickly levelled after the Blues fell behind in the first half. The Seasiders then subsided to 4-1 down before Hazel and on-loan Harry Green added two goals in as many minutes right at the end.
Joint manager Nathan Haslam spoke to Whitby Town TV after the game:
Bridlington Town remain fourth-from-bottom in NPL East after a 2-1 loss at promotion-chasing Stockton Town.
Nathan Hotte levelled for Brid just after the hour following an early own goal, only for the hosts to strike the winner, eleven minutes from time.
