FC SUTTON Foresters retained their four-point lead at the top of the Midland Amateur Alliance Premier Division as a result of their 5-3 victory over Woodborough United.
United had come back from 4-1 down to 4-3 thanks to a Dom Lynas double.
However, Shane Tilley's second strike of the match ensured victory for the leaders, whose other goals came via a Harry Pride double and a goal from Lee Butler, with Ricky Thompson completing Boro's tally.
Tom Blaney's double was all second-placed Old Elizabethans required to see off Wollaton III's challenge in a 2-0 win, while goals from Dave Durham and Tim Rose provided Trent Vineyard victory at the expense of Beeston AFC II.
The two contenders for the Division One runners-up trophy both claimed victories.
Second-placed Old Elizabethans II beat FC Sutton Travellers 6-1 thanks to a James Prudence treble, while goals from Jamie Petman and Dan Greatorex for Magdala Amateurs proved insufficient to prevent a 4-2 defeat to third-placed Eaton Hall College.
Meanwhile, goals from Alex Smith and Tony Warner enabled NRU FC to share the points with Bridon AFC.
There were mixed fortunes in Division Two for AFC South Wingfield 93.
After their midweek 5-3 defeat of Old Bemrosians, which featured four goals from Jason Miles, they went down, 3-1, to MAFC, for whom Liam Hatfield hit a double and a Martin Lester also found the net.
Southwell St Marys, who had defeated Alvaston United 3-2 after extra-time in last Thursday's Minor Cup final, beat Old Bemrosians, 6-1.
Nottinghamshire III failed to find a reply to goals from Paul Bonson, Tom Patterson and Ryan Marshall in a 3-0 loss to Old Elizabethans III.
Meanwhile, despite goals from James Barber and Matt Martin, Ashfield II continue to look for their first point of the season after a 5-2 loss to Sherwood Colliery.
