Happy with 7-1 rout

But that goal set the tone for a pulsating second half as Main ran their opponents ragged with six further strikes, Troy Bennett bagging four goals and James Manley adding another two to his season's tally.
Lundwood did finally managed to get on the scoresheet late on but the damage had already been done.
At the other end of the table, Hoyland Town grabbed a valuable 2-1 win over Tommy Treddlehoyle, who suffered a hangover following their victory in the Supplementary Trophy Final.

Scott Clarke netted a hat-trick as Royston Steelers A continued their impressive winning habit with a thumping 10-1 win over strugglers New Lodge.
Paul Jackson and Andy Haywood both bagged a brace apiece while further markers from Craig Robinson, Glenn Walton and Jonny Jackson completed the romp.
