Holbeach United defeated eight-man Leicester Nirvana 2-0 on Saturday, while Spalding United were crushed 5-0 at Cleethorpes Town and Pinchbeck United saw their fixture postponed.
Starting with Holbeach, goals from Liam Adams and Spencer Tinkler settled their Carter’s Park clash to keep them firmly in the Uhlsport UCL Premier Division title race.
But the big story was the indiscipline of Nirvana, who had three players sent off on the day.
Meanwhile, Spalding’s poor run of form in BetVictor NPL South East Division continued with the crushing 5-0 defeat at promotion-chasing Cleethorpes Town.
Harry Middleton, Ross Hannah, Alex Flett, Jon Oglesby and Sam Topliss gave the Owls their biggest win of the season in the Lincolnshire derby.
For the Tulips, it’s now five games without a win following their heaviest loss since a 6-1 reverse at Glossop North End in October and they stay 15th in the table.
The stormy weather did claim one high-profile casualty, with Pinchbeck United’s derby against Boston Town postponed as early as Friday because of a waterlogged pitch at the Sir Halley Stewart Playing Field.
