Bridgwater's 2-0 triumph at Bitton made it three away wins on the spin for United.
A Jack Taylor half-volley broke the deadlock five minutes inot the second half, with the influential forward then adding his second from the spot late on after he had been hauled down in the box.
There was also a 2-0 win for Jake Ash's Mousehole at Brislington, in a repeat of the result from when these two sides met in January.
Both goals came inside the opening half, with Louis Price and Mark Goldsworthy each finding the back of the net for the Cornish outfit.
Comeback of the day belonged to in-form Keynsham Town whose ace Will Hailston inspired them to a 2-1 win at Saltash.
Sam Hughes fired Ashes ahead at the start of the second half. Ks leading scorer Hailston levelled then, less than three minutes later, Hailston produced an excellent finish to turn the game in Keynsham’s favour.
They hung on during the final 20 minutes to secure their fourth consecutive win in all competitions.
Buckland Athletic ended a long winless run, claiming their first three points since New Year’s Day thanks to a 2-0 victory at Wellington.
Josh Webber’s flying header set the Bucks on their way after 16 minutes, before another headed finish, this time from Ryan Bush, doubled the visitors advantage midway through the second half.
Millbrook’s late smash and grab stunned hosts Shepton Mallet, with the visitors striking in stoppage time to secure a 1-1 draw in Somerset. Following 82 goalless minutes, Mallet looked to have claimed the win when Aaron Seviour slammed the ball home after some excellent play in the build-up from teammate Jacob Sloggett.
The hosts were then afforded the opportunity to double their lead, only for Nick Hewlett to see his penalty rebound back off the post, and Millbrook took full advantage, levelling the scores three minutes into added time through Josh Toulson.
The points were also shared in the fixture at Kellaway Park where Helston and Clevedon battled out a 1-1 draw.
The home side made a dream start to the contest, and led after just three minutes when Craig Veal tucked home an early penalty.
The Seasiders levelled on 54 minutes as Cam Salmon's cross was spectacularly volleyed home by Mitch Osmond from the edge of the box.
