Newly-promoted Moneyfields moved two points clear at the top of the Evo-Stik League South, East table on Saturday after they inflicted a 5-2 drubbing on visiting Aylesbury FC, while fellow newcomers Hartley Wintney were being held at home by improving Cha

The Moneys are certainly carrying on the momentum of winning the Sydenhams Football League (Wessex) title, although it wasn`t until late on that they managed to kill off the Moles on their first-ever visit to the Moneyfields Sports Ground.

Dan Wooden gave the home side the boost of an early 5th minute lead.

However, the Moles equalised on 16 minutes through Ben Stevens and then lead immediately after the break through Jeanmal Prosper.

Steve Hutchings levelled on 68 minutes and then Moneys clicked into gear, taking a 79th minute lead through Ryan Pennery, adding a fourth on 85 minutes with Wooden`s second and then making it a nap hand in the 88th minute with a goal from Marley Ridge.

Hartley Wintney led at home against Chalfont courtesy of a 9th minute Dean Stow penalty.

But the Saints earned a late point, thanks to Rob Hastings in the 88th minute.

AFC Dunstable are third after Jermaine Hall`s 23rd minute effort eventually proved enough at Honeycroft against Uxbridge.

Ashford Town (Middx) are fourth and they were comfortable 4-0 winners at home against Hayes & Yeading United.

Jack Beadle bagged a brace in the 4th and 25th minutes.

And then Max Webb matched him with goals in the 57th and then 3 minutes into stoppage time.

Kempston Rovers moved above Beaconsfield Town into fifth after winning 4-2 at Holloways Park.

Nathan Tshikuna gave Rovers the boost of an early 2nd minute lead.

But Town`s Aaron Minhas turned that round with goals in the 12th and 20th minutes.

Just past the hour-mark, Tshikuna added a second to pull the Walnut Boys level and Jake Newman put them in front 7 minutes later, with Luke Heneghan adding a fourth in the 84th minute.

AFC Rushden & Diamonds lost more ground after being held to a goalless draw in front of 441 at Hayden Road, and Cambridge City slipped above them into seventh after winning 4-2 at St Ives against Thame United.

The visitors led through top scorer Dan West after 11 minutes, but Jordan Gent in the 19th and Ryan Sharman in the 23rd minute put City in front.

West and Ross Paterson swapped goals right on half-time to see City go in 3-2 up, with Lewis Wilson adding a fourth on 66 minutes.

Fleet Town are bottom after they were beaten 2-0 at fellow strugglers Hanwell Town.

Goals in the final 13 minutes from Ruddock Yala and Callum Wright sealed Hanwell`s win.

Arlesey Town sandwich those two after they lost 1-0 at Aylesbury United, whose Oliver Hogg scored in the 54th minute.

Bedford Town and Northwood shared a goalless draw at the New Eyrie, while Marlow came from 2-0 down to salvage a home draw against Barton Rovers.

Charlie Payne after 66 minutes and a Calam Gallimore own goal 4 minutes later broke the deadlock for Rovers.

But Kameron English after 79 minutes and then Marcus Mealing in the 87th minutes earned the hosts a battling point.
