Brighouse go top of table
They beat visitors Hyde United 2-0 at Hove Edge to make it five wins out of six in the league this season.
Luke Parkin fired them in front via the bar after seven minutes and a fine individual run and 25-yard shot from Tom Haigh 10 minutes later put them in command.

Hide AdIt was a week after Shaw Lane FC’s Wilkinson had collapsed fatally at the ground and Brighouse devoted the front of their programme to a picture of the player with the words “RIP our footballing friend.”
There was also a minute’s applause during play at the 61-minute mark, the time WIlkinson had gone down.
Brighouse, who had called off Saturday’s home game against Colne, are away to 17th-placed Droylsden on Saturday.
