Swindon Supermarine, Truro City and Metropolitan Police achieved back-
to-back wins to begin their 2022/23 campaign in the Pitching In Southern League
Premier Division South.
Supermarine followed up their 3-0 away win at Hartley Wintney last weekend
with a 4-1 success at the Webbswood Stadium against Hendon, who have yet to
obtain a point. Harry Williams gave the hosts a 15th-minute lead that James
Harding added to 20 minutes later. Ten minutes after half-time, Williams added
`Marine’s third and then after Joe White had reduced the deficit on 65 minutes, two
minutes later, Harding was brought down by Hendon `keeper Marcin Brzozowksi as
he went round him, and he converted the resulting penalty to make it 4-1.

Truro, who had also won away on the opening day, beat a Dorchester Town side
who had won theirs, 4-0 at Bolitho Park. Rocky Neal gave the White Tigers a 13th-
minute lead they held until four minutes after the break when Tyler Harvey doubled
their advantage. Six minutes later and it was effectively game over as Harvey’s
second made it 3-0, with Neal matching him by adding his second with 16 minutes
remaining.

And the Met, who won at home last weekend, made it two defeats in succession
for newly promoted North Leigh after a 2-0 success at Eynsham Park. However, the
Millers gave as good as they got for large parts of the game against a very useful
visiting side, who broke the deadlock four minutes after half-time through Herson
Rodrigues-Alves.
And then a minute into stoppage time, Met Police were awarded a penalty after a
foul by Luke Carnell and Jasper Mather made the points safe for Gavin
MacPherson’s side.

The Row lost to a 48th-minute Brad Clayton effort at The Meadow against a
Chesham United side who had drawn their opener.

The Martyrs attracted a crowd of 562 to the Met Coaches Stadium but were beaten
3-1 by fancied newly promoted Bracknell Town, who also shared the spoils on
opening day.

Jordan Esprit gave the Robins an 11th-minute lead that Ricardo Rees levelled 10
minutes after the break. The visitors were awarded a penalty on 64 minutes for
handball against Adam Davies and Seb Bowerman restored Bracknell’s lead from
the spot. And just three minutes later, Darryl Sanders made sure the points were
going back to Berkshire with a third.

Another newly promoted side, Winchester City, picked up their first point after a
hard-earned 1-1 draw at Earlsmead against Harrow Borough, who also drew on
