Joe Dobson scored twice in ICA Sports’ 3-2 win over Langtoft United and Connor Pilbeam also bagged a brace for Deeping Rangers Reserves in a 3-0 win over Uppingham.
Netherton United’s tie at Stamford Lions was postponed because of a waterlogged pitch.
In the only Premier Division match to take place on Saturday, Wisbech Town Reserves moved up to third with a 6-2 win at Stilton United.
