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.
