Two other lower level games survived, as Minster-on Sea side Oasis Reds drew 1-1 with Ashford Angels to go level on points with Kent Division 2 East leaders Diamond United Blues, who were busy thrashing Long Lane DS 8-0 in the Kent Divisional Cup, aided by a Jordan Langstone treble.
NORTH EAST – Harrogate Town promoted again
Nothing survived but Harrogate Town had been declared Division 1 South champions with two game to spare.
