North won their Grand Fort Road derby against neighbours Vale Rec 2-0 at the Corbet Field thanks to first half goals from Nigel Hutton and Scott Bougourd.

Meanwhile, at Blanche Pierre Lane, hosts St Martin's proved too strong for Sylvans, beating the Westerners 4-1. The outstanding Kyle Smith opened the scoring for the home side with their other goals coming from Gregor Wilson, Matt Renouf and Chris King.

Robbie Legg's excellent strike near the end of the first half was only a consolation for Sylvans.
