Bitton continued their bid to get back among the leaders with a 3-2 victory at high-flying Street.

Bitton took the lead after 25 minutes, when a Guy Cox cross was headed back across goal by Craig Mullen for Adam Sims to score. Mark Cherry then set up Mullen to make it 2-0.

Dave Pearse pulled a goal back from the penalty spot after goalkeeper John Rendell had brought down Jake Harris, but Cherry crashed home a 25-yard free-kick to restore Bitton's two-goal advantage and a Harris goal was not enough for Street.

Brislington paid the penalty for failing to put away the chances they created and had to settle for a point from a 1-1 draw at Melksham Town, who took the lead through Dan Lardner. Brislington at last found the net in injury-time as Kye Mountford headed home.

Welton Rovers were also made to pay for missed opportunities as they went down 2-1 at home to Dawlish, who take over top spot from Street.

Danny Maye gave Welton the lead after nine minutes, but Dawlish equalised when Gary Fisher headed in from a corner and then won the match with a 70th-minute penalty from Dean Stevens.

Bristol Manor Farm were 3-0 home winners over Radstock Town. Chris Gregory put them ahead after 20 minutes and Danny Dunt and Matt Thorne were also on target.

Longwell Green Sports went ahead at Sherborne Town when Chris Dauncey scored in the 15th minute. Richie Parkinson equalised just before the interval, but Green snatched victory with an 87th-minute goal from central defender Dale Riley.

Bishops Sutton's good run came to an end when they went down 2-1 at Ilfracombe Town, Darren Hawkins scoring their goal.
