Josh Jones continued his rich vein of form as Whitehawk regained top spot in County League division one.
The midfielder made it four goals in three games since returning from six weeks out with an ankle injury by scoring the second on the stroke of half-time as Hawks won 3-1 away to St Francis Rangers.
Darren Budd had opened the scoring two minutes earlier and substitute Marc Whiteman added a third 17 minutes from time before Sam Palmer grabbed a consolation.
Joint boss Darren Freeman said: “Josh is on fire at the moment. We are really pleased with him and he is a real asset to us.”
Promoted Peacehaven went fourth in the table after a 4-1 win at home to Pagham which included four goals in five minutes just before half-time.
Ryan Cox put the visitors ahead on 40 minutes but strikes from Wes Millis, Craig Bunch and Clive Snell made it 3-1 at the interval before Callum Saunders added a late penalty.
Manager Peter Edwards said: “We had a spell where everything went for us and we were able to put the game to bed.”
Reigning champions Eastbourne United needed a stoppage-time equaliser from Lee Walsh to draw 2-2 at Three Bridges in a game which saw a player from each side sent off.
Ben Billings put the visitors ahead on 41 minutes only for Dean Wright to level three minutes later and then Elliot Romain made it 2-1 to Bridges with six minutes remaining.
Bridges captain Dean Carden and United’s Brad Manton both saw red for a clash. United also lost goalkeeper Adam Sargent to injury in the first half.
United boss Brian Dennis said: “It was disappointing because we didn’t perform. Last week we were brilliant and this week was the other end of the spectrum.”
Luke Piscini’s late equaliser salvaged a 2-2 draw for East Grinstead at home to Arundel. Matt Axell and Matt Huckett scored for the visitors to cancel out Ben Burns’ early opener.
Aaron Watson scored the only goal with a header from Dan Sullivan’s cross as Crawley Down won 1-0 at home to Hailsham Town.
Scott Osborne’s first game in charge of Crowborough ended in a 3-2 defeat at home to fellow strugglers Mile Oak, who netted through Graham Martin, Mo Alwan and Gary French. Phil Gault scored twice as Anthony Hibbert got the other as Hassocks beat Ringmer 3-0.
