But with their Lincolnshire rivals winning 58-0 against Ashbourne, they still hold a points difference advantage, both sides having won nine out of 10 games.
The Elks led 55-7 after the first half and went on to pass 70 for the third time at the Stute this season – although they perhaps should have looked ruthlessly for more.
Rich Burne touched down the first of his four tries before most fans had emerged from the bar.
Jono Fallas missed the conversion but ran in the first of his two tries straight from the restart and converted.
It was 24-0 after 10 minutes with Dan Mahoney over the line and JJ Connolly racing through from 40 metres.
Falls began to find his range with the conversions, although, to their credit, outclassed Sleaford managed a try of their own at 38-0 down, through Dan Hankinson, which Ryan Batchelor converted.
To a certain extent, the Elks stepped off the gas in the second half, when a three-digit score might have been in the offing.
They disrupted their efforts by conceding a series of penalties in their keeness to win every ball.
But they were also barely troubled and Falls, although he finished with a hamstring strain, touched down to take his tally to 22, Neil Stenhouse converting.
