COVENTRY SPHINX 5-0 COGENHOE UNITED
A Cogenhoe side depleted by injury, illness and unavailability found Sphinx too strong as the home side ran in five without reply. Loz Rawlings opened the scoring after 37 minutes and Callum Stewart got the all-important second right on half-time. Stewart then went on to complete his hat-trick with further goals after 68 and 71 minutes before Matty Shipman completed the nap-hand for the Coventry boys three minutes from time.

EASINGTON SPORTS 0-1 BIGGLESWADE UNITED
Biggleswade United opened up a four point gap over the relegation zone with an excellent 1-0 away win at Easington Sports. They had to do it the hard way too following the 35th minute sending off of Josh Sturniolo, but Taylor Rhiney popped up with the winning goal with fourteen minutes left to play after he ran on to a big kick from keeper Ollie Leslie to tuck the ball home.
G.N.G OADBY TOWN 0-2 EYNESBURY ROVERS
Eynesbury moved up to 11th with a 2-0 victory in Leicestershire. Leading scorer James Hatch put them in front a minute before the break and sub Romaine Walker made sure of the points with a second in the 73rd minute.
LONG BUCKBY 2-2 DESBOROUGH TOWN
Desborough made the perfect start at Station Road when Iain Blaikie put them in front in the first minute and things got even better for them when he claimed his second five minutes into the second half. The Bucks were in no mood to lie down though and they pulled one back on 59 when James Hayward had a simple finish from the corner of the box with the keeper caught off his line and Tyler Reeve secured the home side a share of the spoils with a simple far post finish after good work down the right with 73 minutes played.
O.N CHENECKS 0-3 HARBOROUGH TOWN
Harborough Town reclaimed top spot off the inactive Hinckley LRFC with a comfortable 3-0 win at Billing Road, as the Northampton side slipped into deeper relegation peril. The opening goal came on 16 minutes when Paul Malone played in Nat Ansu and he flicked the ball over the Chenecks keeper, but they had to wait until the second half to finish the game off. Ben Williams netted the second with a trademark header from a corner on 73 minutes, then Malone made it 3-0 with another header from Josh Walsh’s corner four minutes later. The Bees now sit two points clear of Leicester Road, but the Hinckley side now have a game in hand.
POTTON UNITED 2-3 COVENTRY SPHINX
All five goals at the Hutchinson Hollow came in the first 41 minutes of the game in a thrilling first half in Bedfordshire. The Coventry boys opened up an early two goal advantage through Callum Stewart (5) and Matty Shpman (17), but a James Smith goal after 33 minutes kept the game in sight for the Royals. The two goal deficit was restored though on 36 when Louis Guest found the target for Sphinx, but George Brinkman struck for Potton four minutes before the break to make it an interesting, but ultimately goalless, second half.
