WITH three of the top four drawing, third-placed Looe Town had a perfect Saturday in the battle for promotion.

Leaders St Newlyn East were held to a 2-2 draw by sixth-placed Boscastle at Cargill Road.

Josh Insley netted for Boscastle on 28 and 66 minutes with Ross London’s brace which came on 52 and 54 minutes earning a point.

Fourth welcomed second to Lamb Park, but it was visitors Nanpean Rovers that were probably the happier after securing a point at Kilkhampton.

Basement side Roche lost 2-0 at 11th-placed Wadebridge Town with Dan O’Hara and Sam Richards the scorers.

The battle of the mid-table sides at Mount Wise went the way of the home side at Newquay Reserves eased past St Stephen 3-0 courtesy of Jay Davie’s double and an own goal.
