With leaders Grimsby Borough FC Development B in cup action, Rasen took full advantage with their fifth straight win to close the gap to two points of the summit, with a game in hand.

Hosting fourth-placed Burgh Athletic, Rasen had their noses just in front 4-3 at half-time after a rollercoaster first-half.

But the home side eased away after the break to ruin out 7-4 winners.

Andrew belt hit a hat-trick for Rasen, while Thomas Lingard claimed a double, and both Kieran Togher and Nathan Smith struck from the penalty spot, top scorer Togher grabbing his 14th goal of the season.

With Grimsby again cup-tied this weekend, Rasen have the chance to return to the top if they beat second-bottom AFC Grainthorpe at home on Saturday.

Kick-off is 2pm.
