In Division Two, FANG overcame a very determined Fowler by two goals to one. This game had huge implications on the title and promotion race, and FANG prevailed.
Joseph Malby scored a brace for FANG, before Wayne Plummer created a nervy ending to the game with a goal for Fowler. Both teams still harbour title and promotion aspirations, with it likely to be settled on the last day of the season.
William Burt moved six points clear at the top of the table with a hard-earned 5-0 win over Terrington Reserves.
Nathan Mitchell put Burt ahead but they didn't go 2-0 up until the 75th minute, before a late flurry of goals flowed. Connor Parnell scored, and forced 2 own goals, with stand-in striker Pete Clarke lashing home a left-foot howitzer to seal the West Winch club's win.
