TWO goals in four minutes from Halesowen Town’s Jim Kellerman decided the ‘No9 Derby’ on Saturday.
The Yeltz came out on top in their clash at neighbours Stourbridge.
But while the Glassboys are fighting relegation, Halesowen have moved into the play-off places.
Yeltz raced into a three-goal lead before the break with Fin Holmes netting against his former club after 29 minutes.
Kellerman then struck twice as Halesowen scored three times in eight minutes.
Jai Verma pulled one back for Stourbridge just before the hour mark – but that was their only goal of the game.
Yeltz boss Russ Penn told the club’s X page: “ I think we were outstanding, probably our best 45 minutes of the season.
“We were fast, we were sharp, we were aggressive. The game was won in the first 45 minutes.
“But you were always going to get a response from Stourbridge in the second half, we were disappointed with the goal, obviously, but we managed the Alamo.”
Glassboys coach Drew Canavan told the club’s YouTube channel: “The first half was criminal, we were in the game, gave them a goal and we crumbled.
“The game was done by halftime in what was our biggest match of the season.
“It was very disappointing and we can’t keep doing this. The performances aren’t good enough. It was our experienced lads who let the club down here.”
Redditch United are still heading in the right direction and lie third in the table after a 2-0 win at St Ives Town.
Liam Loughlan opened the scoring before Alex Cameron added a second after the break as the Cambridgeshire side lost their unbeaten home record.
Redditch boss Mike Fowler told the club’s YouTube channel: “I was pleased and smiling for once!
“We showed effort and application, the only disappointment was that we didn’t score more goals. That was as good as we’ve been all season.
“We’re playing Harborough on Tuesday and this performance should give us confidence going into that.
“I told the lads we have more gears to go through here. We’re third for a reason.”
Bromsgrove Sporting produced a 3-0 win over Kettering Town.
Luke Benbow gave Rouslers an 11th minute lead with James Sanderson making it two and Tom Edge adding a third in the 88th minute.
Bromsgrove No2 Richard Batchelor told the club’s YouTube channel: “It was what the fans wanted to see after the disappointment of losing on Tuesday.
“We asked the players to be a bit more direct and they were.
“There were debutants here and Jaden Charles was man of the match, we brought him in for a reason.
“But Fred Boakye, the new lad on loan from Blues was thrown in at the deep end, he got booked early on and came off with a cut over his eye. I said: ‘Welcome to non-league’.”
Stratford Town collected a 2-1 home win over Leiston.
Lewis Ison opened the scoring before the break and Jack Storer netted a 47th minute penalty.
Bards boss Paul Davis told the club’s YouTube channel: “Winning was important after the run we’ve been on.
“We worked on a couple of setpieces on Thursday night and it worked.
“But we should have scored a third, they went down the other end and scored. That was the only disappointing thing.”
Worcester City were beaten 2-1 at home by in-form Harborough Town.
Connor Kennedy put the Leicestershire side ahead just after the break.
But Harry Burns replied four minutes later, only for Riley O’Sullivan to net a 68th minute winner.
