An Ali Mitchell header was enough for Stannington to claim the points at Stocksbridge Park Steels, while Liam Simmonite made it twelve goals in his last thirteen games to help Handsworth WMC climb to fourth with victory over Redmires. Hat-tricks for both Nick Owen and Robert Gorman saw Hemsworth Villa win a thriller against Millhouses Thermolast and climb to fifth, but the big match between the top two was postponed due to a waterlogged pitch.

Lee Campbell (pictured left) scored twice in the first five minutes as Colley ended Aston Mayerton's unbeaten home record to claim second place.

Crookes & District kept their climb going with a home win against Oughtibridge Village, while Ben Lee's double proved crucial as The Park won their local derby against Rivelin, but Red Lion couldn't keep their run of wins going as they were held by Junior Blades.
