Ossett Town and Scarborough Athletic will both face FA Cup replays this week after draws in their second qualifying round ties.
Jon Newby scored 15 minutes from time to earn Warrington Town a 1-1 draw at Ossett.
The former Colwyn Bay player-manager’s goal cancelled out Steven Jeff’s first half penalty.
Scarborough needed a Gary Bradshaw spot kick to secure a draw with Penrith at Queensgate.
After Matty Plummer’s own goal, Bradshaw scored a 41st minute penalty to level the scores and take the game to a Wednesday night replay.
Frickley Athletic suffered a shock defeat as Northern League outfit Marske United upset the odds to win 3-1 in South Elmsall.
In the Evo Stik Division One North, Wakefield FC salvaged a dramatic 2-2 draw at Farsley AFC.
Farsley missed a catalogue of chances throughout the match and were stunned to find themselves 1-0 down after David Bordman's goal.
Lee Ellington equalised for Farsley before Matty Young put the home side ahead. Simeon Bambrook, Matty James and Robbie O’Brien all went close to sealing the match, but Wakefield levelled in the last minute when Ferdinand Annor’s header found the top corner.
Harrogate Railway boss Billy Miller was not a happy man after his side’s 2-0 home defeat to Mossley.
Mike Morris was shown a red card after just four minutes for a challenge on the edge of Railway’s box and Charlie Anderson scored from the resulting free kick.
Former Scarborough and Bradford City player Louis Horne then doubled the lead on 24 minutes and that was the end of the scoring.
Calum Ward
In the Toolstation NCEL Premier Division, Glasshoughton Welfare returned to winning ways and the league’s top scorer Calum Ward ended a two-game goal drought. Rob Hunter’s side picked up their fifth victory on their travels after beating Heanor Town 3-1.
Joel Freeston put Glasshoughton ahead and Ward ensured Welfare went into the break with a 2-0 lead.
Ward also missed a penalty, but club captain Darrell Young’s 73rd strike made sure of the win.
Kieran de Brouwer scored late-on for Heanor, but Glasshoughton held-on.
Albion Sports have hit a firm wall after Kulwinder Sandu’s men lost 5-1 Retford United which stretches their winless run to five games.
Things were looking rosy for Albion as Karl Hall scored within 60 seconds, but Retford responded with two goals each from Reece Thompson and Craig Fisher and a solitary strike from Liam Wilkin.
Tadcaster Albion, who are set to be taken over by Inspire2Independence, went top of the table after thrashing Long Eaton United 4-1.
Carl Stewart scored third and fourth goals in three games with Nick Thompson and Josh Barrett adding the extras.
Pickering Town fell further away from the top after a heavy 4-0 home defeat to Liversedge – Billy Grogan (2), Ben Grech-Brooksbank and Bradley Riley the scorers.
Bridlington Town returned to action won 2-1 at deposed leaders Thackley.
Tom Fleming and Joel Sutton’s goals won the contest for Gary Allanson’s men.
And there was finally some good news for Nostell Miners Welfare, under the new management of Darren Holmes.
Nostell beat fellow whipping boys Lincoln Moorlands Railway 2-1 to earn their first league win this season at the 13th attempt.
In Division One, favourites Shaw Lane Aquaforce are five points clear at the top after winning 1-0 at Knaresborough Town thanks to former FC Halifax Town winger Mark Whitehouse’s goal.
Eccleshill United are still in pursuit after winning 3-1 at Pontefract Collieries.
Doug Stevenson and Adam McCabe scored either side of each half.
Elsewhere, there were defeats for Yorkshire Amateur and Selby Town and Hemsworth Miners Welfare.
