Another man-of-the-match performance by John Butler swept Ryhope CW to an emphatic victory over Ashbrooke Belford House in last night's local derby at Silksworth.
Butler headed his side into a 20th-minute lead before Belford House suffered a double whammy on 35 minutes.
Mark Lawton was sent off for a handling offence and Butler converted the penalty leaving Ashbrooke with a mountain to climb.
Midway through the second period hot-shot striker Butler completed his hat-trick and five minutes from time capped a memorable performance, scoring a fourth goal to take his season's total to 28.
Ryhope stretched their lead over Scarborough Town, who were without a fixture, to nine points but chasing clubs Cleator Moor Celtic and Teesside Athletic both won.
Celtic easily accounted for Windscale in the Cumbrian derby. Darren Johnson, Chris Thornton, Glynn Edwards and Barry Irving struck with Lee Dixon Windscale's only marksman.
Teesside Athletic visited Willington and had the incentive of a sixth-minute goal from Sam Young. Stephen Thompson quickly doubled the lead and before the break Daniel Drazdauskas added to the woes of the home side with a spectacular overhead kick.
With 20 minutes remaining Josh Binks reduced the deficit but Willington were unable to add to his effort and remain entrenched at the bottom of the table.
Houghton Town are sixth from the basement and have now conceded 70 goals, the most by any side, after leaking eight to rampant Boldon CA.
Goalkeeper Daniel Douglas had a busy night, picking the ball out of the net four times in each half. Mark Williams rifled a hat-trick, Michael Meek and Chris Robertson each bagged a brace with Eric Thompson also on the mark.
Andy Appleby scrambled the ball home to give Easington Colliery the lead at home to Hartlepool but Andy Ross quickly levelled with the best goal of the night, a tremendous shot from outside the penalty area which gave goalkeeper James Winter no chance.
In the second half, Adrian Sanders' shot was deflected wide of keeper Mark Bell and when he was again on target, there was no way back for Pools who are second from the basement.
Jarrow overwhelmed Guisborough Town HC despite going behind after four minutes as Philip Poulton steered the ball past goalkeeper Tony Orr.
Peter Kane quickly restored parity but it was not until the second period that the South Tynesiders got the better of the home team.
Their dominance was rewarded as Kane took his personal tally to four and goals also stemmed from Chris Lunn, Liam Clark and Tony Chilton to complete a 7-1 win.

Ryhope CW go marching on at the top of the table and they took their goals tally to an impressive 65 when they hit Houghton Town for five on Saturday.
Steve Patton's side though, held their own until the second half and at the interval harboured hopes of causing an upset.
Once Ryhope broke the deadlock, however, it was one-way traffic and the goals flowed. Man-of-the-match John Butler collected a good pass from Jimmy Farrell and rounded goalkeeper Daniel Hajras on 47 minutes.
Five minutes later, Butler set up Richard Jordan who fired home from close range and on the hour Butler was again on target following good work by David Newby.
Butler slotted home from 18 yards to complete his hat-trick and take his total for the season to 24 goals. Just before the end Dean Arkley scored with a stunning solo effort.
Ryhope remain six points ahead of Scarborough Town who were also in scoring mode at home to Jarrow.
Josh Greening and Nathan Cooke had the Seasiders two goals ahead inside the opening half hour and during the second period Joe Danby, with a brace, and Cooke completed a 5-0 rout.
Third-top Cleator Moor Celtic needed just one goal from Chris Thornton to see off a strong challenge from Kirkbymoorside.
Bottom-of-the-table Willington took Easington Colliery to the wire before losing to an 89th-minute goal.
When James Huntley was brought down, his brother Rob fired the Colliers in front from the penalty spot but the visitors hit back with an equaliser from Josh Binks.
With time running out Peter Crawford grabbed the winner, chipping goalkeeper Chris Sawyer from the edge of the penalty area.
Aaron Robertson gave Annfield Plain an early advantage but Boldon CA quickly equalised through Chris Robinson. Goals either side of half time by Lewis Harrison earned Plain a 3-1 victory.
Coxhoe Athletic were two goals in front courtesy of Stephen Oakley and Danny O'Brien but went down to New Marske whose winning goal came deep into stoppage time.
Shaun Howes reduced the visitors' deficit and midway through the second half Philip Peggs levelled. In the 93rd minute Richard Playforth's drive rebounded from the underside of the crossbar into the net.
By then, Coxhoe were down to 10 men. Substitute Chris Mulkerrin, who was only introduced in the 86th minute, was sent off in additional time.
Guisborough Town HC improved their position with an 85th-minute goal from Junior Masambi in the bottom five clash at Windscale.
Silksworth were saved from making the journey to Hartlepool and the game between Wolviston and Teesside Athletic was also called off.

At last, the Wearside League returned to action on Saturday but only one of the
scheduled nine fixtures went ahead.
Ryhope CW managed to stage their game with Willington and were rewarded with a
3-0 victory which enabled them to extend their lead at the top of the table to
six points.
Although in the end Martin Swales' team coasted home, until they scored their
second goal it was difficult to decide which team was in pole position and which
one was at the bottom.
There were chances at both ends before Ryhope went ahead on 25 minutes. David
Newby was brought down and Michael Turnbull converted the penalty, beating the
impressive Chris Sawyer.
Ten minutes later and any hopes Willington harboured of causing an upset just
about evaporated.
Richie Jordan received the ball following a short corner, turned in the box and
his rasping left-foot drive gave Sawyer no chance. It was his 17th goal of the
season.
Following this second success, Ryhope dominated with Dean Arkley impressive in
mid-field but it was not until the 70th minute that they put the game beyond
Willington.
Jordan held off his marker but was up-ended and Turnbull stepped forward to
convert his second spot kick.
The other seven league fixtures were called off as was the Second Round
Sunderland Shipowners' Cup tie at Scarborough Town. Jarrow made the long journey
but just before kick-off the match referee declared the pitch unplayable.
