Bels were the main beneficiaries of the weekend's results as they edged past fellow title hopefuls St Martin's 3-2 at the Track while the champions were held to a 2-2 draw by Rangers at the College Field.
In Saturday's other top-flight clashes, Athletics overcame Sylvans 3-0 at KGV while Vale Rec won 2-0 at Rovers.
'It felt like we had won the FA Cup today when that whistle went,' said Bels coach Ian Champion after Saturday's victory.
'Today was all about belief and organisation.'
The decisive goal at the Track came via a hotly-disputed penalty for the home side and Champion understood Saints' protests, but was also full of praise for his side.
