and live on Freeview channel 276
Ryan Hartley struck for fifth-placed Morley in the ninth minute and, by half-time, Uni still hadn’t shaken off terrier-like Town with the sides deadlocked at one apiece.

Saidu Bokung, Attaur Rehman (2) and Ahmad Yehyah were on target for Phoenix with Will Jackson netting for the hosts five minutes before half-time. Third-placed Spurs saw off mid-table Beeston Juniors OB 7-3 with, Ashley Oates (2) and Declan Robinson on target for the defeated visitors.
Ealandians raced into a 3-0 lead at third-bottom Shire Academics but two second-half goals from Ryan Goulbourn and Matt Stanley created a bit of a stir but the visitors held out for a 3-2 victory.
Littletown, meanwhile, strengthened their grip on the Supreme top spot with a 3-2 win at Leeds City while second-placed Athletico slipped up 6-1 at home to Middleton whose late-season form continues to cause a stir and leaves them a strong, fourth-place threat.
