EASINGTON Colliery, the only side with a 100 per cent record, are just a point behind new leaders Annfield Plain after recording their fifth successive victory, at Houghton Town.
The Colliers made a dream start, scoring twice in the opening 16 minutes through Paul Taylor and Lee Smith.
Home goalkeeper Carl Chapman's heroics prevented his side from going further behind but he was powerless as Taylor struck again.
Houghton produced a much improved performance during the second period but with five minutes remaining, man-of-the-match Taylor completed his hat-trick and all the host's had to show was a last-minute consolation by Ross Kennedy.
Ryhope CW won their first three matches but have lost the last two following defeat at the hands of Ashbrooke Belford House.
Tommy Dobbing's side has been inconsistent so far but rose to the occasion. Grant Bulmer headed them in front midway through the second period but the outcome was on a knife-edge until Adam Hopps made sure in the last minute.
Silksworth lost for the fourth time and Coxhoe Athletic celebrated their first win.
Indy Singh headed a free kick wide of Silksworth goalkeeper John McLean who was beaten again 10 minutes from time by a rasping 25-yard shot from Shaun Laverick. Eight minutes from the end Singh was red-carded but the home side failed to make the advantage count.
Boldon CA, who hope to make a managerial appointment in the near future, are the only side yet to get off the mark. They were hit for six at Windscale as the goals flowed from Graeme Goulding (2), Dan Gullen (2), Jordan Lee and Laurie Black.
A Michael Meek penalty was the only response from Boldon who have conceded 26 goals in seven games - more than any other side.
Jarrow would have gone third-top had they defeated Darlington CB but it was the visitors who emerged victors by the odd goal in five.
Dean Fuller, Jack Johns and Michael Carter were their marksman with Stephen Cockburn and Kevin Clarke replying for the South Tynesiders.
Annfield Plain are the new leaders after they edged previous incumbents Kirkbymoorside at Derwent Park.
Luke Jenkinson netted for the visitors and it took Plain 50 minutes to draw level courtesy of Craig Suggett. With 10 minutes remaining Paul Henderson clinched the winner.
New Marske are third following victory over Cleator Moor Celtic with an only goal by Shaun Mackin and Dean Hanson's strike proved sufficient for Willington at Redcar Athletic.
Lee Butterworth, Kilpatrick (pen) and Hannah earned Wolviston their first win at Stockton Town for whom Tom Hinchley found the net.
Prudhoe Town are second-bottom with just one point from 18. Their latest defeat came at the hands of Hartlepool Town whose matchwinners were Shaun Ross, with a brace and Stephen Manson. Brendan McGill was on target for the Tynesiders.
