Hat tricks from Ash Cheetham and Jack Weaver along with double strikes from Nick Grayson and Josh Scully and one each from Jamie Dews, Gary Holland and Ricky Strong added to Wanderers miserable day. In FOUR Old Whittington MW also conceded double figures, this time to Crown Killamarsh who ran riot, putting ten goals past them, the win moving Crown four points clear at the top.

Brimington Utd’s 4-1 defeat to Pilsley Community was their third on the bounce with Javinder Bowers scoring twice, Tom Newman and Steve Wright for Pilsley.

Brampton Oaks Sports took to the field at New All Inn in FOUR looking for a win that would have moved them up to second place.

Spartans beat AFC Castle by two goals to nil to move up to fifth, Craig Tromans and Sean Byrne hitting the winning goals.

Renishaw Rangers winning run finally came to an end in FIVE at the fifteenth time of offing as they were somewhat surprisingly held to a 1-1 draw by a battling Britannia Rose outfit.
