Anthony Gregory's triple for Redhill helped them to comfortably defeat basement outfit Nuthall. O'Dowd and Edwards-Clarke added to their misery.

Old Colonial and BTSC remain second and third from the bottom after both losing.

Old Colonial came away from Stratford Haven with nothing following a 3-1 reverse, as Farrell hit two and McCaughey one for the home side.

BTSC led visitors Rolls Royce Leisure Villa 2-0 thanks to efforts from Smith and Chenery.

But goals from Wheatley and Ryan dragged Villa back on to equal terms at the break and further goals from Wheatley and Cheeseman gave them the 4-2 victory.

Crusader saw their lead at the top of Division Two cut to eight points after being held to a 2-2 draw at Portland Arms.

Second-placed Lenton extracted full benefit from this lapse by overwhelming winless Tricolore 5-1, thanks to a couple from Stratford.

David Wainwright hit a hat-trick as Station Hotel out-scored Rempstone 7-3.

There was a shock at lowly Beercalona, where the hosts hung on to their 2-0 advantage, given to them by Bennet and Morgan over high-riding Premium Res, despite playing with ten men throughout of most of the second half due to injuries.
