Whitley Warriors briefly occupied second place overnight following their 4 -0 win away at Sutton Sting on Saturday but were leapfrogged by Billingham Stars who retook the position following their 3-0 shut out of Sheffield Spartans.
That was Stars' James Flavell's second shut-out in two games following the 2-0 shut out of Sutton Sting a fortnight before.
Whitley's 4-0 win away at Sutton was their first clean sheet of the season and was the second game in a row that Sutton failed to find the net.
