The league’s top scorers added to with their 52nd goal of the season, which came courtesy of Dimitri Dunkley’s finish which separated the sides.

Tettenhall are confirmed to finish sixth in the division, while Ashmore still have to play second-placed Barnhurst Lane Lions before fourth-placed Black Country Blades.

Should they get a draw against Lions, they will confirm the title on June 11.

Dudley Rangers United added to their Division Four title run by defeating second-placed DY United in style.

They won 7-3 away, finishing the season eight points clear at the top after Aaron Oldfield (two), Anton Nesbeth, Scott Fisher, Reece Lenton, Tyler Charris and Oliver Hartland all found the net. DY saw goals from Ryan Tinsley and Jason Wood (two).

Mental Health Lions have likely missed out on a chance to climb off the foot of the table after drawing 2-2 with second-bottom Sporting Codsall.

Lachlan Clemmens and Nathan Colbourne scored for Lions, who still have a game to play as they remain three points behind Sporting. They also, however, have an 18-goal-difference deficit to overcome to get 12th, should they win their final game.

Codsall Wanderers and Bushbury Hill both enjoyed four-goal winning margins at the weekend, as Wanderers defeated Gunmakers 6-2, while Bushbury beat Mental Health Sports 5-1.

Max Moore bagged a hat-trick for Codsall, joined on the scoresheet by Luke Catling, Louis Homer and Brad Thacker, while Kyle Matthews (two), Jamie Harley, Jack Harris and Jack Bolus netted for Bushbury.
