Anstey Town surrender their unbeaten status.

It was all slip at the top, with leaders Sileby Town held to a draw at Braunstone Victoria and champions Anstey Town surrendering their unbeaten status to Narborough and Littlethorpe.

Sileby held a 1-3 2nd half advantage but let 10 men Braunstone, who conceded 3 penalties, pull back to snatch a point with a 3-3 draw after leading scorer Leon Simpson bagged a couple to cancel out the pair Ash Harvey had netted for the Town.

Anstey Town went down 2-4 at home after fighting back to 2-2 just after the break, the victory moved Narborough out of the bottom 2. Hathern were the big jumpers with their 1-4 away win at Earl Shilton Albion, who slide back to 6th after they posted just 1 point from their last 18 possible.

Hathern made it 4 wins on the spin with another double from Matt Hallam. A 2nd half double from Craig Johnson extended Lutterworth Athletic?s unbeaten run to 5 with a 2-0 victory over Ashby Ivanhoe whilst Asfordby Amateurs had new signing Scot James to thank for a point at Huncote Sports and Social, the centre back getting the 2nd half equaliser in a 1-1 draw from a set piece.

Leicestershire Constabulary ended a barren run of 5 with a 0-1 away win at Cottesmore Amateurs, a defeat that puts the Amateurs into the bottom 2.
