Truro City, Weston-super-Mare and newly promoted Bracknell
Town have all yet to taste defeat in 2022/23.

The White Tigers top the fledgling table after winning 3-1 at another
newly promoted side, Winchester City. Truro led at the break,
thanks to a 23rd-minute Tyler Harvey effort. Will Dean then doubled
the visitors` advantage just past the hour-mark. However, Truro went
down to ten-men on 67 minutes when Dan Sullivan was shown a
straight red card. But the numbers on the pitch were evened up 3
minutes later when Winchester were also reduced to ten-men after
defender Archie Willcox received a second yellow card. Harvey scored
his second to make it 3-0 on 76 minutes and Winchester got a
consolation from the penalty spot from Silva Obeng in stoppage time.

Weston won by the same scoreline at the BlackGold Stadium against
Poole Town.

However, they had to come back from being an 11th minute Marcus
Daws goal down to win, thanks to Marlon Jackson four minutes later,
Kieran Thomas three minutes after half-time and a Dayle Grubb
penalty in the 75th minute.

Bracknell are still yet to taste defeat as a Southern League club but
were held to a second draw – 1-1 at the Ian Moorcroft Stadium
against Tiverton Town. The visitors` led through Seb Bowerman’s
10th-minute effort and when Tivvy had Louis Morison sent-off on 83
minutes for a second bookable offence, it looked as though the
Robins were heading for an away win. However, in the last minute,
Niall Thompson fired goalwards, the ball ricocheted off a Bracknell
defender and Jamie Richards backheeled it in to make it 1-1.

Still yet to record a win this season are Hendon, Plymouth
Parkway and Harrow Borough.

Hendon became newly promoted North Leigh’s first victims at
Step 3 level when the Millers triumphed 2-0 at Silver Jubilee Park.
Roger James gave the visitors a good start with a goal after seven
minutes and he doubled his side’s advantage eight minutes after half-
time – a lead they held on to.

Merthyr Town earned a second successive win, this time at Bolitho
Park against fancied promoted Parkway. A crowd of 613 saw a fine
