WEEKEND HIGHLIGHTS | SATURDAY ACTION

There was plenty of excitement across our four divisions on Saturday afternoon.

The highlights include four goals in the opening 16 minutes for Chertsey Town as they breezed past Evesham United in the Premier South by four goals to nil.

There were three late goals for Yate Town as they came from behind to chalk up a 3-1 victory at Uxbridge, who tasted defeat for only the second time this season.

A stoppage time goal gave Banbury United a dramatic 3-2 triumph over Quorn in the Premier Central. It was exactly the same scenario and scoreline for Redditch United against Bury Town.

It was a dramatic local derby at Stourbridge as they shared six goals with Bromsgrove Sporting and St. Ives Town who left it late to snatch a point from a 2-2 draw with Needham Market.

The leaders were beaten in Division One South as Portishead Town succumbed 3-1 at Malvern Town. It meant that Winchester City went top following their 3-1 success at the expense of Exmouth Town.

There was a 4-4 draw between Didcot Town and Mousehole AFC, whilst Brixham AFC continued their climb up the table by beating Bristol Manor Far 2-1.

Over in Division One Central, leaders, Leighton Town, left it late to take a point from a 1-1 draw at Ware and in doing so maintain their unbeaten start to the season.

Behind them, Hitchin Town secured a good 3-1 victory over Hadley, whilst Marlow had a welcome 3-1 triumph over Barton Rovers.

In the lower reaches of the table, Northwood claimed only their second win of the season as they beat AFC Dunstable 3-1 to leapfrog them in the table.

We’ll have plenty more reaction from the weekend action during the days ahead.
