They returned 5-0 winners from Les Quennevais against Beeches Old Boys for their tenth consecutive victory, keeping them on target for a swift return to the top flight after being relegated last season.

Richard Russell struck his 18th goal of the campaign, and José-Manuel Vieira notched a brace and Carlos Carolo a single, with Portuguese’s other goal coming via a Beeches defender.

Matt Pamplin scored the only goal at the Airport to earn Magpies a 1-0 win against St Lawrence. The Pies’ success moved them into second position, three points above First Tower, who have a game in hand. First Tower Reserves went top of Division II following a 4-3 win at La Hague Manor against previous leaders Sporting Academics.
