Third-placed Stamford Bridge conceded a goal inside two minutes at home to Heslington but hit back with three goals in five minutes through Paul Crangle (2) and James Hunt to lead 3-1 at the break. Nathan Spreckley added a fourth for the hosts before being sent off.

Heslington fought back with late goals from Alex Sutherland and Matt Birkin to add to John Pipes’ earlier goal, but lost 4-3.

Basement side Osbaldwick went down 6-0 at Cliffe with the home goals shared between Chris Harkin (3), Luke Crowther, Steve Rowbottom and Tom Hogg.

Thorpe suffered their first home defeat of the season, losing 2-1 to Strensall. Andy Hiley and a Mick Pipe penalty earned the points for Strensall, with Dean Woods netting his tenth goal of the season for Thorpe.
