       5-0  winners  over  Odd  Down.  A  towering  header  from  Lewis
       Townsend had already put the Wasps in front prior to Garner’s first
       of  the  afternoon  which  came  after  27  minutes  of  action.  Connor
       Williams then extended the lead to three in the run-up to half-time,
       with Garner then scoring goals four and five just after the hour mark
       to round out the comprehensive victory. The highest scorers of the
       day were Brislington, with the fifth-placed side toppling bottom-
       side Bishop Sutton in a one-sided affair at Lakeview. Former Sutton
       frontman Oaklan Buck stroked home the 25  minute opener for his
                                                      th
       current side, with Jay Malpas then netting shortly after to make it 2-0
       at  the  interval.  Bris  then  showed  no  mercy  after  the  break,  with
       Jordan Scadding, Jack Fillingham, Joe McLennan and Lewis Dunn all
       adding their name to the scoresheet, prior to a penalty save in added
       time  from  visiting  keeper  George  Dorrington.  For  Middlezoy
       Rovers, it was Liam Winter who played a starring role, scoring in
       their half of their 3-0 victory away at Hengrove. After man-of-the-
       match Winter handed Rovers the half-time lead, Dan Lismore made
       it 2-0 with a well-placed header before Winter completed the scoring
       with  a  belter  from  long-range.  Aaron  Lane-Leney  scored  for  the
       second  time  this  week,  notching  the  only  goal  of  the  game  for
       Gillingham  during  their  hard-fought  win  at  home  to  Cheddar.
       Another man with two-in-two is new Street frontman Steve Murray,
       after he scored the opener in their 3-0 defeat of Cadbury Heath.
       Murray followed up last weeks winner with a first half strike this time
       around, with teammates Tom Hill and Joe Morgan both firing home
       in  the  closing  stages  to  put  some  distance  between  the  sides.
       Nothing could separate the times in the other two fixtures, with both
       Keynsham and Warminster, and also Bitton and Radstock both
       drawing one apiece.
