Lebeq virtually guranteed winning the Regional Sunday League's Premier Division championship with a 6-1 win at Downend.

Jordan Yeo netted a consolation goal for the home side but they had no answer to Lebeq's scoring power. Lebeq have a one-point lead over second-placed Bristol Athletic, who completed their fixtures with a 2-0 win at Patchway Sports.

Downend are the only team who can overhaul Lebeq but they are six points behind with both sides having two games left to play.

In Division I, Sportsman's goalkeeper Grant Goulden got on the scoresheet when he converted from the penalty spot in their 8-1 away win against Breakaways.

The other scorers were Grant Avery (2), James Piling, Alex Hunter, Everton Murray, Dan Aldridge and Jamie Prosser.

Jay Morris hit a hat-trick as Stapleton Sunday raced to a surprise 6-2 home win over second- placed Three Lions.

He was joined on the scoresheet by Matty Plant (2) and Chris Williams.

Fishponds Town secured their first victory of the season with a 6-2 home win over fellow strugglers Jolly Boys.

Luke Gibbons and Matt Sheperd both scored twice, while Dimitri Brimble and Damien Wignall were also on the mark for Fishponds. Steve Brock and Dave Cann (penalty) scored for Jolly Boys.

In Division II, the race is still on to finish runners-up behind champions Redfield Rangers.

Longwell Green Sports are also in the hunt for second spot after a 4-0 win at The Castle.

Nicholas Wanderers went level on points at the top of Division III by beating BAWA Athletico 2-1.

Two goals from Louis Ingram for Wanderers means that both teams are locked on 37 points with just one game remaining. But BAWA look odds-on favourites for the title with a goal difference of plus 57 compared to Wanderers' plus 40.

Dan Hayes and Ted Simmons hit hat-tricks as LB Sports ran out 8-0 winners at home to Downend Reserves.

In Division IV, champions Inter FC celebrated with a 9-1 goal fest away to Portishead Rangers.
