The victory moves Kev Nottingham’s side eight points clear at the top.

Also 3-2 winners on Tuesday night Sutton Bridge United, who defeated hosts Leverington Sports.

Saturday’s action saw Moulton make it four wins from as many games with a 2-0 success at Ketton. The red-hot Townsend and Declan Earth got the goals for Harrox in Stamford.
