Weston-super-Mare and Truro City maintained their unbeaten starts in the
Pitching In Southern League Premier Division South on Bank Holiday Monday.

The Seagulls enjoyed a good 4-1 win at Bolitho Park against a Plymouth
Parkway side who are struggling after winning promotion at the end of last
season. In front of a crowd of 599, Reuben Reid gave the visitors a 14th-minute
lead that Callum Rose levelled after 23 minutes. However, Will Tunnicliff restored
Weston’s lead a minute before half-time.

Elis Watts made it 3-1 with 15 minutes remaining and seconds later, Dayle Grubb
converted a penalty after Jordan Bastin had been brought down to make the final
score 4-1.

Weston now have a two-point lead on top of the fledgling table as Truro were held
to a 1-1 draw at the Ian Moorcroft Stadium by Tiverton Town. The White Tigers
led at the break, courtesy of a 39th-minute Tyler Harvey goal. And they held that
advantage until 12 minutes from time when sub Matt Buchan pounced to pull the
Yellows back on level terms.

As well as Parkway, Hendon and Harrow Borough have also yet to record a
win in 2022/23.

Hendon went down to a best-of-five-goal defeat at Silver Jubilee Park to
Metropolitan Police. And that, despite taking a 10th-minute lead through Joe
White. Ollie Knight eventually equalised 6 minutes into the second half, only for Sol
Sambou to restore the Greens` lead on the hour-mark. Herson Alves pulled the Met
back on level terms in the 76th minute and 5 minutes from time, substitute Archy
Taylor won it for Gavin MacPherson’s men.

Harrow were also beaten on their own Earlsmead patch by fancied Hayes &
Yeading United. And Paul Hughes’ side had to come back from being a 14th-
minute James Ewington goal behind to win – and also survive the second half with
ten-men. Paul Hodges equalised 8 minutes later but Hayes & Yeading had
newcomer Rayan Clarke shown a straight red card right on the stroke of half-time.
But the prolific Moses Emmanuel scored what proved to be the winner from the
spot 4 minutes into the second half.

Chesham United, newcomers Hanwell Town and Dorchester Town hold the
other early top five spots after Monday’s games.

Chesham recorded back-to-back Bank Holiday wins after a 1-0 success at The
Meadow against newly promoted North Leigh. It was a goal on the hour-marl
from Karl Oliyide that eventually proved the difference, following up his brace at
Bracknell Town on Saturday.
