Shaw Lane sealed ten consecutive wins with a resounding victory over Whitby Town, the leaders of the league above.
Shaw Lane pressed from the start and Kieran Lugsden hit the bar early on before Jake Beesley and Gavin Allott linked up to set up Jack Tuohy to score the opener.
In-form Ducks attacker Alex Byrne also hit the woodwork as the first half ended.
Two late goals sealed Shaw Lane’s victory. Allott cleverly twisted and turned for the second. And a goal-mouth scramble earned on-loan Chesterfield striker Beesley his goal.
Whitby’s bad day was summed up in the dying minutes when Steven Smith saw red for dangerous challenge on Byrne.
