Page 15 - Yate Town v Chesham United 171020

Cirencester welcomed Sholing to the Corinium Stadium not only protecting a 100%
record but without conceding a league goal after four matches. Both records went as the
Boatmen secured a late win, thanks to Brad Targett after 81 minutes and Marvin McLean five
minutes later.
Winchester also lost their unbeaten record on their home patch as Evesham United
recorded their first win. Josh Hunt`s 21st minute goal eventually proved enough for the
visitors.
Frome made the short trip down the M5 to play Willand Rovers and also suffered a first
loss, going down 2-1. Archie Reay gave Rovers a 19th minute lead at The Stan Robinson
Stadium. Jon Davies equalised in the 34th minute, but Alfie Moulden scored a decisive
second for the home side 15 minutes from time.
Thatcham Town came close to recording a first win of the new season – even with nine-
men! The Kingfishers made the long trek to Devon to play a Bideford side who are also
looking for a first victory and broke the deadlock 10 minutes into the second half through
Conor Lynch. Former Plymouth Parkway striker Adam Carter equalised on 74 minutes, only
for Lynch to bag his second to restore Thatcham`s lead three minutes later. However, in the
80th minute the visitors had George Smith dismissed for a second yellow card offence and
just four minutes later, Kieran Jordan was also shown a second yellow card to leave
Thatcham down to nine. It looked as though they were going to hang on until Bideford
grabbed a dramatic equaliser in the 9th minute of time added on at the end of the game!
AFC Totton are third after recording a third win at home against Bristol Manor Farm.
Ethan Taylor gave the Stags a 17th minute lead that Brett Williams doubled in the 35th
minute. And it was the former Sutton United and Torquay United striker who added a third
right on the half-time whistle.
Mangotsfield United and Barnstaple Town are the other two teams yet to record a win
in 2020/21 and in the Mangos` case – a first point after they were beaten 3-0 at Plain Ham
by Larkhall Athletic.
Lewis Powell, one of several former Mangotsfield players in the Larks` squad, gave his
side a 32nd minute lead that was swiftly followed five minutes later by a Mike Baker effort,
with Joe Tumelty making it 3-0 less than two minutes later.
Barum lost 4-1 at Slimbridge, for whom this was a second three-point haul to date.
Summer signing from Brimscombe & Thrupp, striker Johan Flo, bagged a brace for the
Swans after 13 and 40 minutes. Joel White added a third just after the hour-mark with
Saddam Bello replying just after that for the visitors, but a Will Hawes goal in the 3rd minute
of stoppage time made it a comfortable afternoon for the hosts.
Paulton Rovers recorded a third win in five with a 2-1 success at Moneyfields, with Ryan
Gay giving the visitors a 23rd minute lead. Kieron Roberts equalised just after half-time but
Will Hailston won it for Rovers in the 65th minute.
And Highworth Town also won for a third time in six matches with a 1-0 verdict at
Melksham Town, for whom this was a third defeat in four. Callum Parsons scored the
decisive goal after 32 minutes.
