Bath side Odd Down produced a stunning performance to win 8-3 at Longwell Green Sports to maintain their top six spot.
Leading scorer Luke Bryan played a starring role, scoring twice in each half, while Omar Simpson also struck twice for the visitors.
Bryan wasn’t the only player to find the back of the net four times on Saturday, with Bishop Sutton’s Oaklan Buck also scoring twice in each half during a 5-0 win at Tytherington Rocks.
League leaders Sherborne Town registered their 20th league victory, 3-1 at home to Dorset derby rivals Gillingham Town.
Josh Williams put the Zebras ahed in the 56th minute with Alex Murphy doubling their advantage.
The away side supplied some late drama when they halved the deficit before Jack Cutmore scored the Zebras third in stoppage time.
Second placed Warminster beat Portishead 2-0 with goals from Jack Miluk and Ian Jeffery.
Radstock beat Hengrove 2-0 thanks to a standout spell of play from Rico Sobers.
Sobers put the away side in front on 50 minutes before supplying the final pass to Nathan Flynn to make it 2-0.
A one-sided first half enabled fifth placed Wincanton to beat Almondsbury 3-0. Matt Garner was buzzing for the Wasps, notching a hat-trick.
A stoppage time winner from Oldland’s Mitchell Dann, helped them fight off a late challenge from Bishops Lydeard to win 3-2.
Having built an early two-goal lead through Craig Parsons and Jack Mills, Oldland thought they had squandered their position of strength when Paulo Borges and an own goal made it 2-2 in the closing stages.
With the hosts pushing to complete a memorable turnaround, the Abbots scored a winner against the run of play, with Dann striking to end their three-match losing run.
There was also plenty of late action down in Cheddar, where Bristol's AEK Boco scored an equaliser in the sixth minute of stoppage time to bring the curtain down on a drama-filled 2-2 draw.
Rick Bennett capitalised on a blunder from the visiting keeper to put the Cheesemen in front after 20 minutes, before Boco levelled in first half stoppage time just moments after the hosts had been reduced to ten men.
Cheddar's Ethan Reed produced an excellent lobbed finish from outside the area to make it 2-1.
Boco had the last word, scoring with the final kick of the game to move up into the 10th spot.
