Charlie Ratcliffe put Green ahead in the 18th minute with Josh Outram adding their second just a minute later.

On 28 minutes, wing wizard Archie Ellams was on target with a third and on the stroke of halftime Dan Allen made it four.

Two minutes after the restart, man-of-the-match Ellams added his second and Green's fifth, while a sixth arrived courtesy of substitute Keegan Thomas five minutes before the final whistle.

Matty Ainger's runaway leaders Brereton Social made the trip to Kents Lane successful when they defeated Allan Davies' Silverdale Athletic 2-0.

Always a tough place to visit, Social found a way through a strong Dale side with Blake Ainger and Sam Mellor on the scoresheet.

The Romans of Rocester moved into second place after they blunted Cannock Dynamos' recent run with a fine 4-1 away win at Chase Park.

Inform striker Jake Walklett fired the Romans ahead on 24 minutes but in reply Cannock striker Ed Page equalised shortly after the half-hour.

Recent Rocester acquisition Gino Orlando then gave the visitors the advantage when he scored seven minutes before the interval.

New man Orlando put his side further ahead just after the hour completing his brace with teammate Euan Harris notching their fourth on 64 minutes to round off a good day at the office for the East Staffordshire outfit.

Wayne Smith's AFC Norton moved themselves into fourth place after recording a 2-0 away-day victory over Matt Rogalski's Wolstanton United at The Bradwell Community Centre.

Stant's recent good home form took a hit when Ben Bentley opened the scoring for Norton on 13 minutes with Oliver Brereton adding their second on 76 minutes to secure the three points.

AFC Crewe, nowadays managed by former Foley Meir gaffer Kieran Mear edged a tight 1-0 away win over Madeley White Star side at Manor Road.
