Retford United, Albion Sports and Thackley are the only three Toolstation NCEL sides to maintain their 100 percent records after the latest round of matches on Saturday.
Retford stay ahead of the other two at the top of the Premier Division on goal difference after their 2-1 home win over Pickering Town, Reece Thompson and Lee Holmes netting for the Badgers after Joe Danby had given the visitors a 49th minute lead.
Albion Sports were 2-0 winners at Maltby Main with both of their goals coming in the last ten minutes, firstly through Daniel Facey and then an own goal from Joseph Austin.
Thackley came from 2-1 down at the interval at Athersley Recreation to win 4-2 with Andy Tasker, Matthew Hall and finally a Matthew Mathers penalty completing the turnaround.
Bridlington Town are up into fourth above Rec after their 3-0 victory at Liversedge, Scott Phillips netting twice sandwiching new signing Ben Kinsley's first goal for the club around the hour mark.
Lee Hill's winner two minutes from time saw Worksop Parramore climb into the top six following a dramatic 4-3 home victory over Armthorpe Welfare.
At the other end of the table, Nostell Miners Welfare prop up the rest as they suffered their fourth defeat in as many matches, losing 9-4 at home to Heanor Town.
Stef Frost and Adam Nicholls both claimed hat-tricks for the visitors who picked up their first victory of the campaign whilst Danny Critchlow also scored three times for Nostell but found himself on the losing side.
Glasshoughton Welfare are the other Premier Division team yet to gain a point but they have only played two matches, their second being a 3-2 defeat at Barton Town Old Boys.
Lincoln Moorlands Railway moved out of the basement as they opened their account for the season but it could have been all three points at Winterton Rangers were it not for an injury time equaliser by Robbie Spence for the home side to make it 1-1.
There were home wins for Brighouse Town and Long Eaton United who beat Basford United, 2-1, and Parkgate, 2-0, respectively.
And, there was a goalless draw between Garforth Town and Tadcaster Albion at the Wheatley Park Stadium.
Eccleshill United are the new leaders in Division One after their 2-0 victory over visitors Dronfield Town saw them leap to the top of the table, courtesy of a double from Marcus Edwards.
They replace Shaw Lane Aquaforce who dropped their first points of the campaign, losing 2-0 at home to AFC Emley, a Paul Sykes penalty and a Liam Schofield strike in the second half giving the away side the win.
Worsbrough Bridge Athletic and Clipstone moved ahead of Aquaforce after their victories.
Scott Turner struck twice after the interval to give Worsbrough a 3-2 win at Rossington Main and Clipstone were single goal winners at home to Appleby Frodingham, Peter Stubley finding the net after just four minutes.
Teversal have dropped to sixth as they were beaten 3-1 at home by Hall Road Rangers, who got their first points of the season thanks to a Chris Adams double, added to by Owen Mountain, whilst Callum Pursglove got on the scoresheet for the hosts.
Louth Town were another side to get off the mark as a Danny Stevens penalty and a Jason Flint goal saw them win 2-1 at home to Hallam.
Nathan Perks scored a hat-trick for Pontefract Collieries as they drew 4-4 at Cleethorpes Town and there were two goals each for Steve Bromley and Craig Heard in Knaresborough Town's 4-1 win at Hemsworth Miners Welfare.
Bottesford Town scored twice in the last five minutes through Terry Barwick and Junior Okojie to beat nine-man visitors Shirebrook Town, 2-1, and Selby Town were victorious by the same scoreline over Grimsby Borough.
Ryan O'Reilly and Louis Blackwell got the Robins' goals after Louis Grant had given Borough an early lead.
And, Yorkshire Amateur were 3-0 home winners over Dinnington Town, Chris Hitchings with the opener in the first half before a Dominic Noteman penalty and a third from Joel Hughes confirmed the victory.
