Air Miles Manchester Football League: PRESTWICH Heys reclaimed top spot in the Premier Division with a 5-2 victory at fellow hopefuls Leigh Athletic.

Abid Uddin and Derek Watson hit the back of the net twice each for Heys in a thrilling match, with Jon Garrick adding a fifth.

Chris Simm and Brendan Smith scored for the Latics, but they could not mount a fight back.

The win moves Prestwich two points ahead of title rivals Royton Town, who had no match on Saturday, but who have two games in hand.

Leigh, who would have gone top on goal difference had they won, stay in third, five points off the lead.

Clint McLoughlin's strike just after the hour sealed all three points for Atherton Town in their match against visitors Dukinfield Town, and the Howe Bridge side stay nestled in mid-table.

Highfield United moved off the bottom of the table with a 2-1 victory at Wythenshawe Amateurs.

Goals from Craig Cowgill and Marley Clarke won the match, despite an Ian Haversham effort for the Ammies. Springhead drop to the foot of the division.

The Bolton-Bury derby at Moss Park saw Elton Vale take the honours thanks to a 4-0 win over hosts Breightmet United.

Steve Smith started and finished the scoring, with efforts from Ian Hutchinson and Steve Howson in between.

The win keeps Elton Vale out of the bottom two on goal difference.

Unsworth were thumped 6-1 at First Division leaders Avro, for whom Pete Ambrose and Anthony Grayson each scored twice.

Luke Smith had given Unsworth a first-minute lead, but that was as good as it got, and they stay fourth from bottom of the table.

Hindsford AFC had no game, and stay ninth in Division One.
