WYTHENSHSHAWE Amateurs retained the whip hand at the summit of the Premier Division thanks to a 3-1 victory at Willows, goals from Martin Dillon, Stuart Saint and Guy Pilling for the Ammies, bettering a penalty from Steve Wrigley for the home side to stretch their lead to 11 points.

A point at Royton Town was enough to see Dukinfield Town climb into second spot, though they had to a Lee Merson equaliser to thank to a 1-1 draw after Phil Hulme had put the home side ahead.
