Injury plagued Curzon Ashton headed off to the east coast and returned as league leaders after this well earned victory.
It was the home side who had the first shot on target, coming in the fifth minute from the boot of Tom Greaves after he cut in from the right across the 18 yard line, but his effort failed to trouble visiting keeper David Carnell, and it was Greaves again minutes later, this time seeing his shot blocked by Paul Riley.
Curzon should have gone ahead inside the quarter-hour mark, and Town reduced to ten men, after Rhodri Giggs was put through with a ball over the back line.
As Giggs headed for goal, and with keeper Chris Hill out of  his area, he clearly made contact with the Curzon player on the thigh, knocking him off his stride, but all credit to Giggs, who still managed to get a shot in on goal only to see it cleared off the line by Paul Stoneman. Despite the obvious foul referee Mr Smith didn't see fit to even speak to Hill.
It was Stoneman to the rescue of his team again on 18 minutes after Mike Norton beat the offside trap and from a narrow angle, and with Hill nowhere to be seen, his goal bound cross was headed clear by the defender two yards off the line, but two minutes later the visitors finally, and deservedly, took the lead.
With Town trying to play the offside trap once again, Norton held his run before a pass from Chris Curley left the defence exposed, and with Hill on his 6 yard line, Norton drove the ball to the keepers left with this shot going in off the inside of the post.
The scores came close to being level three minutes later as Carnell was forced to save with his feet from Naylor, leaving David Birch to complete the clearance as he drove the ball to safety.
With Curzon constantly pushing forward the home side became reliant upon breaks out of defence and on what was becoming a rare attack Stoneman left his defensive duties to have a double pop at goal, only for the impressive Carnell to deny him after Birch had charged down his first effort.
The lead was doubled five minutes before the interval when Nick Allen gave chase to a ball down the left. With substitute Craig Rouse unable to keep up with the midfielder, his cross into the box was met by the head of Norton who steered the ball past the flat-footed Hill and into the net.
It was very nearly three moments before the break and it was Allen once again being the provider, this time to Josh Mitten, but his shot across the body of Hill struck a defender and went out for a corner on the right.
Norton was denied a hat-trick on 51 minutes by a flag happy official as he lifted the ball over the head of the advancing Hill and into the net.
Despite the  continuing domination of the visitors, Town continued to present occasional problems and it took a full length dive from Carnell to prevent Gareth Naylor from having his name on the score sheet just after the hour mark.
The result was put beyond any doubt on 65 minutes as Curzon mounted another attack, only to be brought to a sudden halt by the hand of Carl Giblin on the edge of the 'd', yet another incident which the referee elected to take no action over. However, this time Town didn't escape punishment, as Giggs took the free kick quickly, curling the ball over the ruck of players assembling in the 18 yard area, leaving it to nestle in the right hand of the home goal.

Curzon will be looking to cement their position at the top of the table when they entertain fourth placed Garforth Town on Saturday. The Yorkshire side are just two points behind the Blues having played the same number of games.
The local outfit hope that the injured quartet of Andy Watson, Adam Jones, Chris Worsley and James Ogoo, who hasn't kicked a ball in a competitive match this season, will soon be available for selection.
The game at the Tameside Stadium kicks-off at 3pm.
