Roberttown Rovers lie in second spot after Matthew Bolton, Dean Vernon and Reiss Brook all scored in a 3-1 win at Old Bank WMC, who replied through Sam Womersley.

The only game in Division Two saw two of the top three sides battle it out in a fierce game at Overthorpe Park.

Tom Hirst put Overthorpe Sports Club Reserves one up following a mistake by Westgate 23’s keeper, but goals from Steven Swift and Jake Fawcett saw Westgate lead at half-time.

Swift was sent off early in the second half and Overthorpe capitalised through Matty Thorpe, Dominic Simpson, James Goodall and Michael Hutton.

Hirst bagged his second near the end to secure a 6-2 win and send Overthorpe three points clear at the top of the table.
