The villagers won their first six Premier Division fixtures before dropping four points in the next two games, but they announced themselves as serious contenders again with a 3-1 home win over title rivals FC Parson Drove on Saturday (October 31).

Kyial West scored twice and Lee Deane also netted for a Stilton team now three points clear of second-placed Netherton who were held to a 2-2 draw by 10-man Eye United.

Kieran Evans was sent off in this game leaving Eye to play a man down for an hour, but two Luke Gasson goals secured an unlikely draw against the stuttering city side. Zack Fisher and Alfie Ferguson scored for Netherton.

Moulton Harrox have emerged as title favourites after an impressive 3-0 win over Peterborough North End made it six straight wins and third place in the table. Ian Bradbury, Ash Coddington and Joe Townsend scored the Harrox goals.

Ketton won their first Premier Division game under new boss Daz Moody as they saw off fellow strugglers Oakham United 4-0 at Pit Lane. Will Chamberlain scored twice with Connor Breakall and Liam Taylor also on target. It took a Tom Rimes own goal for ICA Sports to see off city rivals Cardea by a single goal, while Reece Crane, Danny Firth, Corban Oldham and Harry Grigas scored as Crowland Town beat Long Sutton Athletic 4-0.

Holbeach United Reserves remain unbeaten but a 1-1 scoreline at Uppingham on Saturday was a sixth draw in nine matches.
