Lifton have taken over at the top of Group G after beating previous leaders Pensilva 3-1. Lifton started brightly on a pitch that has started to show signs of wear but fell behind to a tidy finish from Alex Caers across Josh Chalk from the edge of the area.

Lifton recovered well to pull the game back level with a finish from Tom Hancock when a corner evaded every one and found him just inside the 18-yard box to finish at the near post. Hancock then doubled his tally before half-time when a cross from Barry Rutherford found him on the edge of the area and he finished emphatically.

The second-half was an even contest after Pensilva changed formation to stop the wide runs from Lifton. The game was put to bed when Hancock completed his hat-trick with a great finish after some good football carved Pensilva open.
