Weakened Amble pay the penalty at BT
In the Second Division of the Northern Alliance, leaders Amble took a weakened side to face hosts Newcastle BT and paid the penalty in the form of a 4-0 defeat.
The BT lads had drawn their three previous home games, but soon set out their stall in this one with both Greg Palmer and Anthony Stobbs finding the net within 15 minutes of the kick off.
Richard Beverley increased the lead on the stroke of half-time before Neil Clubbs scored his first goal for six years to complete BT's tally.
Amble are now sharing pole position with Wideopen & District who have won 10 of their 12 league games and hammered hosts Willington Quay Saints 6-0.
An idle Saturday for Amble United saw them nudged out of second spot by Percy Main in the First Division.
The Main stretched their unbeaten run to nine games by beating hosts Peterlee Town 4-2.
However, both Amble United and Percy Main were happy to see current leaders Gateshead Rutherford spilling a couple of points. Rutherford drew 2-2 away to Hebburn Reyrolle but still extended their unbeaten run to eight games.
