The men of the match for Rovers were Alistair Jennings, Callum Gravestock and Charlie Birley, all three were tireless.

Josh Greening's hat-trick helped second-placed Edgehill remain in touch with Town after romping to a 9-0 home win against West Pier.

Jake Reeves also banged in a brace for the hosts, with Frank Belt, Joel Ramm, with the goal of the game, Joe Gallagher and Tommy Wilson also on target.

Edgehill boss Steve Clegg said: "Ramm was named as man of the match, playing out of position at centre-back, pushed very closely by young winger Reeves

"We were lucky to be up 3-0 at half-time, as Pier worked very hard and had some good chances squashed by keeper Kyle Scaife who made fantastic saves."

Pier boss Johnny McGough said: "We were more than in the game and were the better side for 30 minutes but wasted a few good chances and was unlucky to be 3-0 down at half-time and their keeper made two great saves.

"In the second half we fell to bits, heads dropped but credit to Edgehill they were well-deserved winners in the end. Taylor and Callum Plant had good games as well as Harry Ward."

Newlands romped to a 7-0 home win against Scalby thanks to braces from Ben Luntley, Robbie Scarborough and Dan Freer.

Goal Sports then managed to break through one on one and Seamer keeper Archie Graham clattered the forward and was sent off, Tom Corcoran converting the penalty.

Tate then struck to restore the lead for the 10-man hosrts, but just after half-time the visitors levelled as a clumsy challenge by a Seamer defender saw another spot-kick award and man of the match Corcoran netted again.

The depleted hosts regained the lead through a scrappy Jensen Bradbury goal 20 minutes from time, and player-boss Connor Myerscough then wrapped up the game late on smashing the ball into the bottom corner after a neat run.

Myerscough said: "Tate ran the game as always and was excellent with Bradbury also impressing, both shared the man of the match award."

Westover Wasps are only behind Seamer on goal difference after their 5-0 win at a very youthful Edgehill Reserves side.

Zac Hansen scored twice for Wasps, with man of the match Mark Walker, Josh Wallace and Jamie Hartley also notching in a solid team display.

Edgehill manager Alec Coulson said: "We've had a tough start playing the best three teams in the league.

"Today my lads did well considering we had two 16-year-olds, four 18-year-olds and three of which playing their first-ever men's game. Man of match would go to Josh Pickin at left-back.
