The game of the day was Frome Collegians vs Bath Villa in the Premier League. The home team, with goals from Marsh and Skipman, could not compete with the visitors’ four away goals, and they remain unbeaten.
Peasedown Albion also remain unbeaten, and therefore stay top without playing this weekend – they have twelve points from four games. Coleford went away to a young Westfield Res side and won 5-2, their goal-scorers were Dan Willis, Kieran Willis, Luke Sellers (2) and Jack Davis, and are in second place in the League.
Radstock A at last recorded their first win of the season, and what a win it was, away to high-flyers, Pilton United, 3-2; Aaron Allen and Liam Hodges netting for the home team, with the lively Caylum Escott scoring a hat-trick for the visitors. Purnell Sports beat Westhill Sports at home, 4-2; scoring for the home team were Regan Williams, Nathan Beacham, Jamie Barns and Brad Hooper.
In the First Division, Chew Magna move to the top of the League with a 1-0 home win inflicting a first loss on visitors, Evercreech.
High Littleton stay second after a hard-fought 2-2 draw at home against Timsbury Res; the visitors’ scorers being Gary Pearce and Midgley. This was a much better performance after their recent poor run.
Peasedown Albion Res are keeping up the pressure on the top teams with a good 2-1 win away to Wells A; Tom Woodland getting both goals. Chilcompton Res scored 7-2 away to Somer Valley, the home team replying with goals from Tealle and Patterson. Meadow Rangers did better last week, playing out a 0-0 draw at home to Clutton Res.
The Second Division leaders, Wessex, really went to town away to Stoke Rovers, winning with six goals without reply. Second-place Belrose went away to Timsbury A with two late goals, winning 5-2. Their goals came from Darren Maynard (4) and Charlie Moon; for the home team, Jack Bailey and Paddy Doyle.
Weston Bath had a good away win, 3-1, at Westhill Sports Res; Ben Watts netting for the home team, and Saltford Res at home drew 0-0 with Farrington Gurney.
Pilton Res are on the top of the Third Division, putting six past Evercreech Res away. Getting the goals were Steve Emery (3), Dan Ford, Jack Allen and Toby Collins. Westfield A fell over the line at Charlton United, 3-2; the home team scorers were Jamie Winter and Scott Green. The visitors are joint-leaders on ten points, as are Peasedown A, who didn’t have a game.
The game at Oakhill between Mendip Rangers and Chilcompton A had to be abandoned because of a serious injury to Josh Corp, and the League wishes him a speedy recovery.
In the Baxter Shield, Coleford Res at home had a very good win against a very good Frome Collegians Res side, 4-2. Getting the goals were Jamie Olding (2), Jordon Welling and Lewis Gilson – must have been helped by those new goal posts!
