Kevin Cox gave Fairview the lead, but Blackbird hit back through Wayne Desmond (2), Sean Herman (2), Joe Cook, Craig Bloomfield, Arran Barrett and Ryan Taylor to make it eight wins from as many games. The George won 4-3 at St Clements in a see-saw encounter.

Jack Stewart and Andy Paine fired the George into a two-goal lead, before Kelvin Sherman pulled one back with a penalty after Luke Murphy was bundled over.

Tim Small equalised with a spectacular volley, and Murphy put St Clements ahead.
