Only three games survived the conditions in the NPL Premier Division on Saturday, with FC United of Manchester and Ilkeston Town the winners of the weekend.

Mark Beesley’s FC United side claimed a 1-0 victory at Leek Town to move level with second-placed Hebburn Town. Matty Thomson put FC United ahead in the first half, and his side held out for the rest of the game to secure an 11th clean sheet of the campaign and a return to winning ways after two without. 
Elsewhere, Ilkeston stretched their unbeaten run to four matches with a big 3-1 win against Morpeth Town in a six-pointer down near the bottom of the table. 
Morpeth had the lead going into half-time after Joe Brayson capitalised on a defensive mishap to break the deadlock, but Ian Deakin’s side rallied in the second half to take all three points. Sam Parker levelled things up, before a brace from Harvey Kirby-Moore ensured Ilkeston moved five points clear of the drop zone. 
The only other game to go ahead this weekend ended goalless, with nothing separating Whitby Town and Workington.

Harvey gets hammered by defenders every game but he keeps going and what an absolutely superb finish that was for our 3rd goal.
