Saturday`s Division One Central Round-Up

Ware maintained leadership of the Pitching In Southern League Division One Central on Saturday, whilst both Kempston Rovers and AFC Dunstable remain unbeaten.

Paul Halsey’s Ware won 3-0 at the Loop Meadow Stadium against Didcot Town, courtesy of goals from Rene Howe on the half-hour mark, Marcus Milner 5 minutes after the break and Liam Dulson on 74 minutes.

Kidlington continue to surprise after last season’s struggles and are second after Ryan Knight’s 18th-minute effort proved enough to see off Thame United at Yarnton Road.

Kempston’s good start under the experienced Chris Nunn continued with a good 3-0 success at Harlow Town.

Ben Stevens bagged a brace in the 44th and then 77th minutes, with Ben Baker adding the other a minute from time.

AFC Dunstable proved too much for a Walthamstow side hastily put together by new boss Nicky Ironton.

The OD’s won 3-0 with goals from Charlie Pattison after 35 minutes, Louie Collier on 65 minutes and 2 minutes later, Lucas Kirkpatrick.

Ironton’s former club, Welwyn Garden City, are fifth in the very early table after they edged out switched Highworth Town by the odd goal in five at Herns Way.

But the Citizens had to come back from being two down to the Worthians experienced strike pair of Ashley Edenborough after 25 minutes and Felipe Barcelos 10 minutes later.

Alieu Njie pulled the first back almost straight after the break, Josh Hutchinson equalised on 56 minutes and then Matt Newman won it for the hosts in stoppage time.

Cirencester Town, switched with Highworth in the summer, are also finding this division tough and picked up only their second point to date from a 3-3 draw at the Corinium Stadium against Waltham Abbey.

The Abbots came back from being a first-minute Joe Shepherd goal down to lead through Declan Rydings after 12 minutes and then Christian Gyamfi on 54 minutes.

Levi Irving equalised in the 58th minute, only for Gyamfi to make it 3-2 seconds later.

But on 71 minutes, the Abbots had Nathan Koranteng sent-off and 3 minutes into time added on at the end of the game, Reegan Messenger grabbed the Centurians leveller.

It also finished all-square at Hertingfordbury Park between Hertford Town and Biggleswade FC.

Dan Bond gave the visitors the breakthrough a minute after half-time and Alex Marsh added a second on 57 minutes.

Player boss Ben Herd reduced the deficit from the spot on 67 minutes and then he pulled his team back on terms 9 minutes from time.
