A LATE goal from Paul Buckley secured not only three vital Air Miles Manchester League points for Springhead against Leigh Athletic but also the leadership of the Premier Division.
The visitors made Springhead battle for the points, Carl Shepherd and Brendan Smith levelling efforts from John McAllister and Pete Dowd before Bucko's late strike.
A first half goal from Steve Dearden eventually ended Wilmslow Albion's unbeaten start to the campaign as Elton Vale underlined their own potential with a fine victory.
Howe Bridge saw Atherton Town commit football suicide as they netted two own goals to gift Dukinfield Town all three points in a 2-1 loss.
Ashton Athletic were held 2-2 at home by Unsworth in the First Division, while Breightmet United also had to settle for a point at a renewed Warth Fold.
