Westover started the game with only 10 men, were reduced to nine when Luke Rainton was sent off for two cautions and ended the game with seven players due to injuries.

Eric Hall put Eastway ahead in the first half against the run of play, Kieran Friett levelling for Goal Sports after the interval.

The hosts dominated possession but Eastway's 10 men defended valiantly and keeper Jordan Wood was their man of the match. Goal Sports also had four goals disallowed by ref Dave Hudghton.

Tom Scales gave Steve Clegg's side the lead after 10 minutes, but basement boys Westover stunned their high-flying hosts when restoring parity before the interval.

An understrength Edgehill had to dig deep in the latter stages, as they had to finish the game with 10 men due to injury. But by that point Danny Collins' deflected shot had moved them back into the ascendancy.

The whole Westover team did well on the night as they were unlucky not to get anything from the game, while 16-year-old full-back Josh Wallace took the plaudits for Edgehill.

Edgehill leapfrogged 10-man Newlands after they were soundly beaten 8-3 by Sleights.

Jim Howard's men led early on when Lewis Peel fired home. However, the Flixton-based visitors levelled, before Charlie Smith notched his sixth of the season to reassert home advantage.

The second half saw Newlands level from a poorly defended free-kick, but Sleights' Sam Leadley replied seconds later.

Ben Cairns made it four, while Leadley's second was soon followed by a brace from Billy Graham and a deflected effort from hard-working fellow sub Taylor Humble. The away side scrambled in a late consolation in-between.

A Jonny McGough own goal gave Scalby the advantage, and after a Rob Speight penalty levelled up, goals from George Wilson, Mike Hartnett and a second McGough calamity left the villagers cruising.
