Two goals from Danny Firth helped Crowland Town pick up an eye-catching 3-1 win over Stamford Lions on Saturday.
They bounced back from a first ChromaSport PDFL Premier Division loss of the season to rack up a third win, with Stephen Wells the other scorer at Snowden Field.
The victory leaves Crowland fourth in the table, two places and three points ahead of Long Sutton Athletic after they went down 2-1 at home to Peterborough North End Sports.
Sandwiched between those two are Holbeach United Reserves, who sit fifth after a 1-1 draw at Ketton.
Kyle Compton was the scorer for the Tigers, who remain unbeaten this season.

The defender netted a trio of headers, with Declan Earth the other scorer for second-placed Harrox.
In the same division, Pinchbeck United Reserves suffered a 6-2 home reverse against Wittering Premiair.
Connor Bell and Rowan Woodward got the goals for the Knights, but the table-toppers were just too strong – aided by four goals from Lee Croft.
