Stratford and District Alliance

THREE teams boast unble-mished starts to the new season with two of them sharing the honours in Aquaid Divi-sion One.

Bidford made it three wins out of three after a 3-2 defeat of Ilmington to move level on points at the summit with inactive Broadway United.

Richard Sutton, Chris Row-berry and Seb Rockcliff were on target on the Big Meadow where James Shearman and Stuart Eades replied for the losers.

Welford are the other side with a 100 per cent record - a sequence extended last weekend after a 4-1 Cutler Division Three win over Blockley. Ric-hard Pozzi (2), Jim Chandler and Dan Valentino all found the net.

Henley Forest were the day's top scorers with nine goals against winless Earlswood with Sam Churchley and Ben Adshead both notching trebles.

Ilmington's second team managed one goal fewer in easily seeing off Welford B with Matt Petty and Bryan Wilkins both on target twice.

Craig Hodgkins and Dave Beech also bagged braces as Red Alert defeated Bidford Reserves 6-1, while two from Dean Williams helped Badsey United's second team overcome their Quinton counterparts.

Two more players managed to beat the goalkeeper twice. Kevin Kelly's strikes helping Shipston to an odd goal in five victory over Badsey Rangers Reserves and two for Gary Hodgetts earning Dog and Pheasant a Herald Division Two draw at FISSC.
