The Evo-Stik Southern League Premier Division Central` s match of the day was the top of the table clash at Amblecote between overnight leaders Stourbridge and second-placed Kettering Town,
the teams swapped places as the Poppies did the `double` over the Glassboys by winning 2-1 on Saturday.
In front of a crowd of 1,734 Stourbridge broke the deadlock with 15 minutes remaining when Leon Broadhurst poked home from close range after visiting `keeper Paul White had dropped a cross.
But the Poppies came back to equalise 5 minutes from time when Brett Solkhon finished off a Marcus Kelly cross.
And then 3 minutes into stoppage time, the visitors were awarded a free-kick 25 yards out and Cambridge United loanee Tom Knowles fired the ball home.
The top two are still ten points clear of the chasing pack, which is led by Stratford Town, led by former Kettering boss Thomas Baillie.
He saw his side win 1-0 at Redditch United, courtesy of a goal 19 minutes from time from another former Poppies player, Wilson Carvalho.

Needham Market`s top five claims took a blow as they went down to a 1-0 defeat at Bloomfields against fourth-bottom St Neots Town.
