HIGH-flying Highgrove cemented second place in the Premier Division on a day of mixed fortunes as long-time leaders TIC Dynamos crashed.

The Dynamos are still on top - but their 4-1 thumping at the hands of Marsh could have a season-turning effect.

They are five points clear of Highgrove, 6-0 winners over Slyne, and six clear of Storeys - but the reigning champions have five games in hand.

And Marsh have an extra game in the tent as they chase the title despite the constant stream of players from Willow Lane to Giant Axe. As it was Kevin Coulton, Alan Coulton, Jordan Sparks and Vernon Middleton found the target to sink the leaders, who are suffering in 2007.

Storeys show no signs of slipping, although they were made to work at Ingleton as Matty Craig, Andy Sanderson and Graham Taylor scored in the 3-2 win.

Highgrove's highest-ever North Lancs position spurred them on and Luke Ogley (two), Russell Mitchell, Andy Forbes, Michael Bateson and Damon Graham hit the net in their romp, while Ian Quinn was a two-goal hero for Caton United as they beat Galgate 3-1.

Boys Club remain bottom after a 1-0 loss to Kirkby Lonsdale, while Westgate Wanderers slumped in the derby against Morecambe Royals as they were bowled over 5-0.

Carnforth Rangers maintained their top spot in Division One as they swamped hapless Millhead 5-0 with Matthew Garwood bagging a brace in the romp but Storeys reserves maintained the pressure with a 3-1 win over Burton Thistle.

Morecambe Hoops stay on top of Division Two as Robert Goldsborough and Andy Brocklebank earned a 2-1 win over Bolton-le-Sands, while Paul Woodhouse and Graham Cassidy made it a good day for the north side of the Lune with a 2-1 win over Freehold.

Central Pier hit five against Moorlands in Division Three - but Gregson went better than that as a Dominic Williams hat-trick helped them to an 8-1 stroll at Burton Thistle Res, while there was a shock in Division Four as Overton lost 2-1 to Villa Royals.
