Renishaw looked on course for a maximum point haul as they were two goals to the good at half time thanks to Ross Taylor and top scorer Robin Holmes who produced a delightful chip over the visiting keeper.

Two points behind and with two games in hand is the ominous sight of Stannington Village as they recorded a 6-1 away success at Chapeltown RBL. Village opened the scoring when Joe Barker was brought down and Charlie Hobson made no mistake from the spot. Jimmy Middleton added a second from a Shaun Flynn pass and giant defender Dan Green smashed home the third from close range. Legion responded and reduced the arrears by half time when Ben Wright drove at the Stannington defence for veteran Paul Dawson to slam the ball home.

The final CBC Premier game of the day saw Norton Sportsman suffer a second successive loss as Intake Old Boys edged a topsy turvy game by the odd goal in five. Norton took the lead when Michael Gibbons intercepted a back pass to slot the ball home but the visitors levelled when Norton's Chris Lewis headed into his own ne. A superb long range strike from Intake's Jonny Roper put his side in front and that could have been extended if Mark West's penalty hadn't crashed against the crossbar. With five minutes to go Chris Winters fired Norton level, but Intake grabbed the winner two minutes from time when Elliot Coles and Harry Chamberlain combined for the latter to fire home.

Scott Ellis broke the deadlock with a well taken effort into the top corner and Southey's lead was doubled when Byron Mullen got onto the end of a through ball and slotting the ball past the advancing home custodian. Civil piled the pressure in the second half and were rewarded when player-manager Gary Eades reduced the arrears but Southey took the points thanks to keeper Callum Jones thwarting the home side time and again in the final stages.

Another side staying on the fringes of the promotion places are Cobden View after they took defeatedt Norton Oaks B 4-3.

Oaks took the lead when Joe Lawson rose highest at a corner but Cobden hit back immediately thanks to a Tim Pitt strike and the same player finished a fine move to give the visitors a half time lead. Lawson's second of the morning drew Oaks back on parity before Alex Butt and Ben Bell handed a two goal breathing space for Cobden. Nathan Davies reduced the deficit to one goal and Oaks then pushed for a fourth which Cobden resisted to take away the points.

Mosborough Whites head the pack in Division Two by means of more goals scored, and they edged another close encounter when seeing off Brinsworth Phoenix 4-3. Phoenix took a two goal lead thanks to a couple of high quality finishes from Jack Hawkes. Julian Lawrence pulled one back with a well taken chip and then Luke Walker scored his first with a low effort from the edge of the area.

Still Phoenix refused to buckle and Hawkes got his own hat-trick from the penalty spot to make a one goal game but Whites held on.
