THE ROUND UP | GOOD FRIDAY ACTION

The Easter weekend has got underway with some great action

The Good Friday action saw plenty going on throughout our four divisions.

In the Premier South, leaders, Walton & Hersham, had a day to forget as they fell to a 3-0 defeat at Taunton Town, who are battling to avoid the drop. It meant that Gloucester City were able to close the gap to 15 points with their 2-1 triumph at Hanwell Town after they recovered from falling behind early on.

Third-placed Farnham Town battled out a 1-0 away win at Wimborne Town, whilst Poole Town shared the spoils in a 1-1 draw at Evesham United. Remaining in fifth place are Sholing who secured a 2-1 victory over Tiverton Town, who had their relegation confirmed. They hold a two-point advantage over Berkhamsted, who won 3-2 at Dorchester Town.

Over in the Premier Central, seven of the top eight won. Leaders, Harborough Town, came from behind to secure a 2-1 success at St. Ives Town. Second-placed Spalding United also had to come from behind as they beat Stourbridge 3-1.

The only losers were Real Bedford who succumbed 2-1 at Kettering Town who hold the final play-off place. Sandwiched in between are Redditch United, who had a good 4-1 victory over Leiston.

The battle is still on for a top five berth with Quorn getting a single-goal success against AFC Sudbury, who hit the bottom of the table, Halesowen Town claiming a 3-1 success against Stamford AFC and Needham Market 1-0 victors over Bromsgrove Sporting.

Into Division One South, Frome Town reached 98 points as they won 3-0 at Sporting Club Inkberrow. Behind them, Malvern Town came from behind to win 3-1 at already-relegated Tavistock AFC, whilst third-placed Portishead Town left it late to get a 1-1 draw at Larkhall Athletic.

Winchester City were 1-0 winners at Willand Rovers as Bishops Cleeve claimed a good 2-0 away success at Exmouth Town. Hot on their heels remain Shaftesbury who were commanding 4-0 winners over Falmouth Town.

All of the top five had a Good Friday in Division One Central. Leaders, Leighton Town, beat Hertford Town 2-0, whilst Hitchin Town were back into winning ways with a 3-0 triumph over London Lions.

Behind the top two, Biggleswade Town overcame the challenge of Beaconsfield Town by two goals to one as Biggleswade FC came home from Hadley with a 2-0 success to leave them ahead of fifth-placed Thame United on goal difference after they won 3-0 at Northwood.
