Tulips A were their victims, with a 35 break from Alfonso Palumbo (O49) helping him win the match-clinching final frame on the Spalding baize.
Two points further back in third are Holbeach USC D, who defeated Services E 4-2 despite a 22 break from Vince Fitter (O28).
The big winners in the top tier were Long Sutton A, who walloped Bourne SC A 6-0 to register their first success of the season so far.
Mat Smith (O35) sank a 29 break for them.
Also collecting their maiden triumph of the campaign were Holbeach C, who handed hosts Donington A a 5-1 reverse to leave them bottom of the pile.
In Division Two, both Pyramid D and Services A kept their 100 per cent records alive with 4-2 wins.
Services saw off visitors Consti H as Pete Mullane (O21) reeled off a 24 break, while Pyramid handed hosts Crowland A their first defeat of this campaign.
Level on points with the top two are Boundary A, who brushed Gosberton A aside 5-1. Andy Mowforth’s (O7) 25 clearance was the high point for the Deepings side.
Elsewhere in the second tier, both Boundary C and Holbeach B bagged their first wins of the season.
