Ryhope CW roared to an emphatic victory over neighbours Silksworth and are now only two points adrift of table-topping Scarborough Town.
Chris Linstedt returned to the club he left in the summer but it was his replacement Martin Swales who celebrated.
Linstedt did an outstanding job at Ryhope and Swales is continuing the good work of the former manager.
John Butler fired the home side in front from the penalty spot but Jordan Crake quickly levelled with a header from a corner.
Just before the interval Richard Jordan restored the advantage to the home side and when they had the better of the second period, Ryhope went nap courtesy of Butler, Shaun Petch and Paul Hartley.
Following a goal-less first half, Ashbrooke Belford House and Easington Colliery shared the points in a six-goals thriller.
Martin Deacon gave Ashbrooke the lead but the Colliers quickly hit back and were 3-1 up through Chris Tarn, Robert Huntley and Lee Davison until the 85th minute.
Battling Belford were given a lifeline by Alan Young and in the last minute Deacon headed in the equaliser.
Boldon CA trailed from the eighth minute at Cleator Moor Celtic following Craig Padley's clinical finish from 20 yards. Chris Robinson scrambled in an equaliser but Celtic emerged winners with Barry Irving's clever lob over goalkeeper Andrew Hunter.
Jarrow moved into fourth position with a comfortable victory over second-bottom Willington.
Chris Lunn beat three defenders before firing past goalkeeper Chris Sawyer and just before the interval Jonathan Matthews also produced a good finish.
Despite the heroics of Willington keeper Sawyer, Jarrow made it three after an hour when Lee Buglass delivered a stunning free kick into the top corner of the net.
Hartlepool remain third from the basement after losing by the odd goal to Wolviston whose marksmen were Anthony Brown and Scott Mehan. Chris Birbeck had equalised for Pools.
Coxhoe Athletic claimed their first point of the season in a goal-less draw with Annfield Plain. Coxhoe have still managed only four goals in 10 games but are now within striking distance of Willington.
Four sides were involved in the North Riding Senior Cup. Leaders Scarborough Town hammered New Marske 7-2, Kirkbymoorside defeated Redcar Rugby Club by an only goal while Guisborough Town made their exit at the hands of Old Malton St Mary's.

Peter Benson was an early scorer against his former club but Ryhope CW hit back to defeat Ashbrooke Belford House in the Sunderland Shipowners' Cup.
The striker, who regularly found the target for Ryhope, pounced on a defensive mistake after just 15 minutes but within five minutes David Newby equalised with a solo effort, burying his shot low into the net.
Richard Jordan then scored what proved to be the winning goal in the 25th minute when he poked the ball home in a goalmouth scramble.
Coxhoe Athletic belied their lowly position and gave holders Teesside Athletic a good game before going out by a 3-1 margin.
Glen Smith and James Kesterton had the hosts two goals up but it was no more than Coxhoe deserved as Tony Lee reduced the deficit with a looping header.
Coxhoe went down to 10 men when Barrie Moses was injured. By then, they had used their substitutes. Late in the game Lewis Wood sealed Teesside's victory.
An only goal by Michael Mackin was sufficient for New Marske against Hartlepool while leaders Scarborough Town ran riot at Cleator Moor Celtic who played for 81 minutes with 10 men following the dismissal of Michael Lewis.
Robbie Hawkes (3), Luke Jenkinson (2), Dean Craig, Nathan Cook and Wayne Brooksby led the Seasiders to an 8-2 win. Glynn Edwards claimed a couple of consolation goals for the Cumbrians.
Fourth-top Easington Colliery made up ground on the three leading clubs, who were on cup duty. Robert Huntley and Barry Turton were the scorers at Wolviston for whom Danny Shields had restored parity.
Chris Linstedt celebrated his first game in charge leading Silksworth to a 4-1 victory over Houghton Town whose only marksman was Billy Harrison.
Gary Tyzack gave the home side a perfect start scoring in the first minute and in the second period further goals flowed from Andrew Place, Michael Renshaw and Anthony Rogerson.
Mark Johnson, Shaun Heads and Chris Robertson netted for Boldon CA who won the South Tyneside derby at Jarrow for whom Chris Lunn and Jonathan Matthews found the target.
Aaron Robertson and Dominic Elliott enabled Annfield Plain to see off the challenge from Guisborough Town HC and Paul Round scored the only goal as Kirkbymoorside defeated Windscale.

Ryhope CW are just two points behind Wearside League leaders Scarborough Town
following last night's emphatic victory over Boldon CA.
John Butler was an early marksman for the home side but within a minute Mark
Johnson equalised.
Martin Swales' team then stepped up a gear and the goals flowed from David
Newby, Butler and Anthony Ross before the interval.
Midway through the second period Butler completed a superb hat-trick and
although Chris Robertson reduced the arrears three minutes later, there was no
way back for Boldon who had scored 11 goals in their previous two games.
Houghton Town lost 3-1 to New Marske at Leyburn Grove. Mark Dawson headed in a
corner and Lee Harrison scrambled the ball home to give fifth-placed New Marske
a half-time advantage.
Billy Harrison threw Steve Patton's side a lifeline when he converted a penalty
but late in the game Shaun Howes made sure of the points for the Seasiders.
Easington Colliery shared the points with Kirkbymoorside at Welfare Park. The
visitors were gifted an eighth-minute lead as Martin Langley unfortunately
sliced an attempted clearance into his own net.
The Colliers were quickly back in the game as an 18-yard drive from Barry Turton
flashed into the net but Alex Strickland regained the advantage for the visitors
on 41 minutes.
Just before the break Turton dribbled his way into the penalty area and
equalised with a splendid individual effort. There were chances for both teams
in the second period but the game ended in a draw, which was a fair reflection.
Ashbrooke Belford House fielded a severely-weakened line-up at Cleator Moor
Celtic and crashed to a 5-1 defeat despite having the encouragement of a
10th-minute goal from Michael Charlton.
Lee Dunn hit a hat-trick with Barry Irvine and Craig Padley also penetrating the
Wearsiders' defence.
Goals were scarce in the other two games. Roy Gordon's 87th-minute effort was
sufficient for Annfield Plain at Willington and Wolviston also won by a slender
margin at Windscale where Dan Shields was the only marksman.
Jarrow reached the second round of the Sunderland Shipowners' Cup with a 4-2
victory at Guisborough Town HC.
The South Tynesiders made a flying start with goals from Peter Kane and Chris
Lunn but before the interval the scores were level as Richie Walker and Junior
Massandi hit the target.
Jarrow enjoyed the better of the second period and after debutant Chris Quinn
celebrated with a goal, Peter Kirkham completed the scoring from the penalty
spot.

Easington Colliery were involved in a six-goals thriller before exiting the Monkwearmouth Charity Cup when Guisborough Town won 5-3 on penalties.
Stephen Kilpatrick was an early marksman for the visitors and Chris Tarn missed a penalty for the Colliers before Philip Poulton sent Guisborough in with a two- goals cushion.
Rob Huntley then restored parity, converting two penalties which were awarded within a minute and amazingly he completed his hat-trick from the spot in the first period of extra time.
With just four minutes remaining, Poulton scored his second goal of the afternoon to set up a penalty shoot-out.
Colin Thornton emulated Rob Huntley's performance when he rifled all four goals in Cleator Moor Celtic's 4-2 defeat of Kirkbymoorside for whom Alex Strickland and Daryl Rivis replied.
Ashbrooke Belford House went out of the Wearside League Cup to New Marske. Sam Crookes beat goalkeeper Greg Dixon after half an hour and 20 minutes from time Sam Dawson just about ended the Wearsiders' hopes.
Boldon CA were the biggest scorers of the day when they hit Coxhoe Athletic for six.
Michael Owens cancelled out the home side's early strike but this was their only success and it was at the other end that the goals flowed from Stephen Telford, with a hattrick, Shaun Carroll (2) and David Hopper.
After establishing a two-goals advantage inside half an hour, courtesy of Stephen Liddle and Liam Bell, Annfield Plain had to withstand late pressure from Windscale after Peter O'Donnell threw the Cumbrians a lifeline.
In a reduced League programme, Houghton Town returned to winning form with a narrow victory over Willington at Leyburn Grove.
Mark Robinson fired into the net following an excellent build-up but goals immediately before and after the interval from Harry Drummond and Martin Scott put the visitors in front.
Mark Catheside was introduced as a substitute and with his first touch equalised and eight minutes from time Robinson claimed the winner.
Scarborough Town extended their lead at the top to four points when an only goal by Robert Hawkes proved sufficient at Wolviston and Teesside Athletic leap-frogged Ryhope CW, who had a free day, with victory over Hartlepool thanks to Andrew Bell and James Kesterton.
