DOBBIES A won the Division One title after securing the one point they needed from their last four games to win back the trophy they surrendered two years ago.

In a hard-fought game with The Colliers Rest, who dumped them out of the cup last week, Phil Hutchinson's goal secured the draw that gave Dobbies their first piece of silverware this season.

Elton Vale, who surrendered their crown, went down fighting as they demolished an under-strength Dobbies C 6-2, thanks to a brace each from Andy Clarke and Steff Shaw.

De La Salle enjoyed a solid 2-0 win over Garswood United saw them leapfrog The Colliers Rest. Man-of-the-match Paul Whealing scored in each half for De La Salle, who will pip Elton to the runners-up spot if they win their last four games.

Turton remain in the hunt for a top-three spot after coming from behind to beat Daten AFC 3-2 with goals from Tony Philbin, Damion Maquire and Ian Horrocks.

In Division Two, Dobbies B went back to the top of the league after thrashing the Bay Mare Strollers 5-0. Gary Davenport fired a hat-trick as they moved two points clear and need just five points from their last six games to claim the title.

Walkden Fives' chances of finishing in the top two took a blow after they lost 4-2 to a resurgent Pennington. Third-placed Walkden Wrecks closed the gap with a 3-1 win over Park Wanderers with goals from Carl Grundy, Tony Chapman and Paul Taylor.

Ainsworth A took a big step towards lifting the Third Division title after beating Real Victoria 3-2, but they had to do it the hard way. Real Victoria led 2-0 at half-time, but a brace for Eddie Fairhurst and one from Dave Hunter kept them a point clear at the top.

The Pineapple Inn are just a point behind after a 2-0 win over Bolton Wyresdale - a superb Paul Cooke strike and Glyn Crook's penalty sealing the points.

Although The Pineapple are just a point behind, Ainsworth have a game in hand and five points from their last three games will give them the league.
