Athersley Rec sacked manager Jimmy Whitehead over the weekend following a 4-1 loss in a Barnsley derby at NCEL Division One leaders Wombwell Town.
The one-sided derby was played in front of a crowd of 542 on Friday.
Gavin Allott hit a hat-trick, two from the penalty spot, with Callum Walton also netting as Town went 4-0 up early in the second half.
Athersley’s Lee Garside pulled one back in the 90th minute. Rec have seven points from nine games after finishing last last season but being given a reprieve.
We have been at the heart of our community, every week, since 1858. The town and its people have changed dramatically since then but the Chronicle has been a constant.
It’s our belief that news should be available to everyone regardless of their circumstance. But we need a little helping hand to do so.
Production Editor, Ashley Ball, said: "In an ever changing media world, it’s important that news is reported correctly and without any hidden agenda.
Your support allows us to keep holding decision-makers to account and report on everything that happens in the town, good or bad, fairly."
