​Lewis Lilley, Jack Nicholls and Luke Woodhouse scored the goals at Thurlby with Woodhouse, James Stainsby and Kieran Lewis on target in the home game.

The Under 16 Division One title will be settled this Sunday (10.30am kick off) when top two Stamford AFC and Thorpe Wood Rangers face off at Borderville.

A draw would do for the home side who have a superior goal difference.

JUNIOR ALLIANCE LEAGUE

The Under 13 Division One title race was due to be decided by a Wednesday night game between top two Yaxley and Deeping Rangers Claret at Leading Drove (5.30pm).

Yaxley need a point to clinch top spot. A Deeping win would force a play off as goal difference does not apply in Junior Alliance matches.

Deeping missed the chance to move level with Yaxley on Sunday when beaten 4-2 at third-placed Park Farm Pumas for whom Humberto Balodis (2), Charlie Whitty and Dexter Willingham scored.

Flynn Parkhill and Henry Randall scored for Deeping.
