It's as you were at the top of the Sills and Betteridge Lincolnshire League after the top three all registered 2-0 wins.

Skegness Town 0 Ruston Sports 2

A goal in each half was enough for Ruston to see off the challenge of a depleted Skegness at Burgh Road.

Stevie John gave Sports the lead from the penalty spot in the 40th minute.

Town, who had to sign on three of their reserve players before kick-off, battled to get back into the game, but were dealt a further blow when Craig Wilkinson made it 2-0.

Wilkinson was dismissed late in the game for a second yellow card.

Harvest 2 Horncastle Town 0

Following a scrappy and goal-less first half, Harvest broke the deadlock in the 54th minute, when Ryan Smith smashed the ball past the Town keeper.

Ten minutes later the home side increased their lead when Cass ran through a crowded goalmouth to drive the ball home.

Heckington United 0 Sleaford Town Reserves 2

Sleaford took the lead after 38 minutes. Micky Stones flicked on Nathan Rawdon's throw-in and Gordon was on hand to steer the ball home.

Gordon doubled the advantage with 20 minutes remaining.

CGB Humbertherm 1 Skellingthorpe PFC 2

Under-strength Skellingthorpe ground out a valuable win on a difficult surface at Fulstow.

Steve Mehta gave the visitors a 1-0 half time lead, but five minutes after the break the champions were level when Tom Avison converted a penalty.

With 10 minutes remaining a home player received his marching orders following an incident that left Skellingthorpe's Sam Gordon with a facial injury. Matthew Forbes' 85th-minute free-kick sealed the visitors' win.

Cleethorpes Town 1 Lincoln United Reserves 4

Lincoln United Reserves had to come back from behind to beat bottom club Cleethorpes Town.

Ross Wheatley gave the home side the lead after half-an-hour when he fired home for the edge of the area.

Lincoln levelled before the break through Sam Orritt, who cut in from the right and finished well.

Orritt headed home his second early in the second half and things got worse for the home side when Scott Coupland finished off a flowing move to make the score 3-1.

Coupland doubled his tally for the game with Lincoln's fourth.

Hykeham Town 10 Boston Town Reserves 1

A goal from Rob Newman and two from Stuart Hanson gave the home side an early cushion before Glen Holbrook made it 4-0 from the penalty spot.

Jason Addlesee netted to make the half time score 5-0.

Jon Hanson scored his ninth league goal of the season before Boston's Ednayel Ferreira De Silva pulled a goal back from the spot.

Rob Newman netted twice more to complete his hat-trick and there were further goals from Addlesee and Adam Wilkins.

Lincoln Moorlands Railway Reserves 2 Louth United 0

Hotshot Joseph Hall continued his rich vein of form to clinch three points for the Railmen.

Hall has now scored 10 times in his last six league games.
