Cold Ashby eased their relegation fears with a commanding 7-1 victory at Priors Hall, who now lie one point adrift of safety in division three.
Although Ryan Genner took the opener for the Corby club on the 18th, a couple of narrow defeats for Rory O’Connor and Callum Farr were the closest Priors came to grabbing anything else.
Jack Hall and Bob Clayton both won 4&3, Mark Conway triumphed 7&5, while Ashby team-mates Paul Askew and Greg Croxton were both three holes ahead when they finished their games.
In division one, Wellingborough’s title ambitions suffered a blow as they lost 5-3 at Staverton Park, who moved level on points with Overstone Park at the foot of the standings.
Despite losing the first and third ties on the penultimate hole, Wellingborough looked well set as Chris Leonard (2&1), Jamie Milligan (4&3) and Chris Howes (3&2) gave them the lead.
Josh Morris levelled up the scores however, Michael Franklin added another home point by defeating Ryan Connolly 4&2, before Miles Mudge won the last hole to beat Jon Harris.
If Wellingborough beat Overstone at home on Sunday, it will set up a winner-takes-all contest away to reigning champions Peterborough Milton the following weekend.
