Ardley completed the double over near neighbours Middle Barton in a hard-fought 3-1 Division 1 West encounter.
Ardley got off to a great start inside ten minutes when leading scorer Steve Tucker headed past Chris Coles from an excellent Steve Ayris cross.
The visitors battled back but were denied by good defending by former Barton player Jason Bedford and Tom Goldthorpe.
Ardley had some good fortune two minutes into the second half when the ball broke kindly for Dave Southam to make it 2-0, and although Barton pulled one back via Gordon Bedford's free kick, Ayris sealed victory for Ardley, also from a free kick.
