CREWE REGIONAL SUNDAY LEAGUE Premier Division leaders Crewe Athletic had their 100 per cent start to the season halted by bottom club NHB.
Athletic were hit by player availability issues and were held to a 3-3 draw by the Bunbury-based side who were securing their first point of the season.
Jordan Amson, Blake Robinson and PJ Hudson scored for Athletic, with Lewis Clark (2) and Nick Ball replying for NHB.
Talbot and Broadhurst FC played out a lively 4-4 draw with Danny Jones, Liam Whittaker, Joe Goodier and Jordan Marsh netted for the homes side.
But a hat-trick from Tom Hassall and an effort from Scott Ravenscroft secured a point for Broadhurst.
Raven Salvador earned their first win of the season by beating Cheshire Cheese 4-2.
The home side led through goals from Robsan Osman and Tom Edge, before Ben Reddock pulled a goal back just on half time for Cheese. Ben Styche quickly put Raven Salvador further ahead, with Josh Wynne adding a fourth before Charlie Maines added a consolation.
Willaston White Star were unbeaten in their first three matches but got off to the worst possible start against The Lions when one of their defenders headed into his own goal.
They fought back sand replied through Azrahul Haque, but The Lions ran out 6-1 winners with goals from Russell Schofield (2), Jordan Prince, Danny Roberts and a Danny May penalty kick.
In Division One, the top game featured the two unbeaten sides, Cooper Buckley and Audlem, and it was the visitors who prevailed.
