FA Cup heroes Handsworth fell to a 4-1 defeat to Lee Elam’s red hot Eccleshill United who climbed to second place.

However, Eccleshill responded before half-time through Jonny Irving.
Sam Bradley then stole the initiative for Eccleshill as he fired them ahead three minutes into the second half.
Two quick-fire goals around the 70th minute mark from Alex Laird and in-form Talent Ndlovu sealed the win for Eccleshill.
