DOBBIES A remain eight points clear at the top of the BSF Over 35s Football League Division One after a battling draw with Breightmet United.

Breightmet took an early 2-0 lead only for Dobbies to fight back to earn a valuable point.

Pennington and Stand Athletic failed to make any headway on the leaders after fighting out a 0-0 draw, while Cross Keys eased their relegation woes with a good 3-0 win away at Dobbies B.

In Division Two, Hare Athletic remain on course for the title after beating third placed Horwich Town 3-2 at home.

Hayward Old Boys kept the pressure on in second place after beating Bolton Wyresdale 2-1 but remain five points adrift.

Seven Stars beat Daten AFC 2-0 and are now safely in mid-table but the result means Daten will have a nervous last few weeks in the league.

The lead changed again in Division Three with Old Smithillians moving top after beating previous leaders Ainsworth Fossils 2-1 at home.

Walkden AFC went second after a good 3-2 home win against Westhoughton Wingates with Ainsworth dropping to third place.

Rumworth & Hulton are still fourth after fighting out a 0-0 draw with Founders Arms, but the Bottom Bulls Head chances took a dive after losing 2-1 at home to Urmston MC although it remains incredible tight in this division.

RESULTS:

Division One: Dobbies B 0 Cross Keys 3; Breightmet Utd 2 Dobbies A 2; Pennington FC 0 Stand Athletic 0.

Division Two: Hare Athletic 3 Horwich Town 2; Hayward Old Boys 2 Bolton Wyresdale 1; Seven Stars 2 Daten AFC 0.
