The league leaders came out 1-5 winners away at Grappenhall Sports while Northenden claimed a 1-3 win on their visit to Unicorn Athletic.

Elsewhere in the second tier, third-placed Sale Town Reserves suffered a 3-2 defeat away at unbeaten Broadheath Central JFC, Deans Youth climbed up to fourth spot thanks to a 5-2 victory against Baroni FC and Styal FC now occupy fifth position on the back of a 6-3 triumph against Moorlands Sports.

In the one other game played in Division Two, West Didsbury & Chorlton recorded their first win of the season by overcoming APFC 2-3 on their travels.

There was only one match played in Division One on Saturday as Wilmslow Sports secured a 3-2 win against Broadheath Central FC to move up to fourth place in the table. Sale Moor FC vs Knutsford FC was postponed.

Meanwhile in the Altrincham & District FA Senior Cup, Sale United and Sale Amateurs both advanced to the second round thanks to victories against AFC Jolly Butcher (7-4) and Kartel Sports (1-4 AET) respectively. Chris Mosley's opener was cancelled out by Kartel's Stewart Yearsley to take the game to extra-time but a hat-trick from Nick Barker in the additional period settled the game in Amateurs' favour.
