Doubles from Jamie Kightley and Calum Tyndall, allied to strikes from Martin Maclean and Daniel Partridge gave the Dons a 6-1 win and moved them above Measham into fourth.

The Dons return to Hoby Road, Asfordby on Saturday for the visit of Shelthorpe Dynamo FC Reserves (kick-off 2pm).

But Division One side Wymeswold were knocked out of the league’s Cobbin Trophy after a penalty shoot-out at Ravenstone United.

Goals from Danny Hulett and new signing Jake Rimington took the quarter-final to extra time, but the score remained 2-2, and the Premier Division side came through 4-3 on penalties.

Wymeswold return to league action on Saturday knowing a win at Greenhill YC Reserves would send them top of Division One with both of the top two engaged in cup ties.
