Cheadle Town were the latest side to be swept aside as Oswestry cruised to a 5-1 victory.
Harry Bower fired the visitors in front after 10 minutes, with Michael O’Reilly and David Howarth adding further goals to make it 3-0 at the break.
An own goal reduced the deficit early in the second half, but Steven Evans then restored Oswestry’s three-goal advantage just after the hour. Bower wrapped up the scoring in the 90th minute.
St Martins suffered their first defeat of the season as they were edged out 3-2 at home to Sandbach United.
An own goal had given the hosts an early lead, but they then fell 3-1 behind before Jamie Hands netted.
Ellesmere Rangers were also beaten on home soil – 2-1 by Vauxhall Motors.
Rangers looked to have snatched a point when Emmanuel Williams levelled with a minute to go, but Vauxhall struck four minutes into added time to move into second place behind Oswestry on goal difference.
