In the Premier Division

In the Premier Division, a classic nine-goal thriller saw Joel Mason back to his best against the team with whom he began the season. Four for him and one for Tony Wells saw Bedwell Athletic edge out Probuild, who replied through Kaan Fehmi (two), Rich Hall and Josh Dance, to leave them bottom of the table.

Dun Cow Reserves still head Division One after inflicting Broadhall’s first defeat. Mark Phillips, Steve Bannister, Michael Gregory and James Dillnutt were on the mark, whilst the reply came from Martin Wilson, John Johnston and an own goal.

AFC Crooked Billet opened the scoring with a freak goal on 10 minutes. A Kevin Childs drop-kick was flicked on by Gary Hillard and the ball bounced over the ‘keeper. Christian Goodyear doubled the lead with his groin from two yards. After the break, Putterills got themselves level by the hour mark through Pete Morrison and Allan Johnston. Goodyear headed home with ten minutes remaining before he turned provider for Hillard before Matt Arlick scored the goal of the game for number five, a through ball saw him finish with aplomb from the edge of the box.

ProCladd had a bare eleven and Paul Ricketts got on the end of a George Rowe defected shot to equalise. Rowe then netted himself before a third from a Toby Willis cross being met by Ricketts. However, Stevenage Colts Old Boys took the points thanks to Luke Bennett (two), Josh Bartlett and Sam Jones.

John Vooght (five), Simon Vooght (two), Joe Tyler, Dave Morbin and an own goal saw Highview annihilate Shephall Artois, for whom Micky Hennah was sent-off out of sheer frustration at the proceedings.

Stevenage Fencing’s 100 percent start in Division Two continued as they put Hartham Press to the sword. Garry Smith (hat-trick), Craig Gilbert (two) and Tom Hillard (two) did the damage.

MBDA kept up the pressure and took the lead through Ashley Kersey’s header. However, Old Town Wetherspoons put in a spirited display and Gary Baker’s superb low finish right on the half-time whistle was the least they deserved. Gary Hodgson’s header and Kyle Watson’s terrific solo strike saw the game comfortable in the end.

Marquis of Lorne continued their impressive form with some delightful football. Inspirational captain Frazer Triggs coolly slotted home the opener before squaring for Jamie Robertson to tap home a second. Lewis Coward scored from just outside the box to make the game safe before Times Club scored a consolation through Karl Rickaby.

The sole Division Three game saw Emperors Head jump three places to go top of the league on goal difference. Lewis Essam (two) and Lewis Sealy netted against Chequers, for whom Jason Smith replied.

Bedwell Rangers edged the clash of the two high-flying young sides in Division Four. Luke Smith was gifted their opener by an awful defensive blunder after fifteen minutes and looked likely to add to that lead. Broadhall 'A' then sorted themselves out and dominated the final twenty minutes of the half and Michael Emmings’ speculative shot found its way past the ‘keeper for the equaliser. Two minutes after the break, Danny Bacon restored the lead before Darryl Cimini sewed up the points late on.

Fairlands took another step towards managing adult football and played some lovely stuff, creating a number of early chances, but ‘keeper Paul Ashby also kept the ball out at the other end. The first point was denied as Garry Leask struck the only goal of the game for Marquis Rangers.

Matt Woods (two) and Kieran James netted as White Lion Walkern beat Crooked Billet Boro (Tom Glading and Andrew Nash).

MH Goldsmith had their second success in the Frank Neville Memorial Cup as Callum Newbury (four), Steve Teale (two), Rich Griffiths (two), Grant Sullivan, Luke Mitchell and even a goal from Tony Goldsmith put paid to AFC Chells (Chris Stead).

Despite an amazing performance from the Stevenage Old Town ‘keeper, King Pin United overcame their three-goal deficit thanks to a hat-trick from Carl Lingwood, two more from his brother Danny and a goal apiece from Dale Chester and Adam Bannister.
