THE afternoon's top match in the Strat-ford Alliance saw Broadway edge out fellow Aquaid Division One pacesetters Bidford to move into top spot.

Matthew Sheridan, Luke Bayliss and Gary Buckland netted for the visitors, while Chris Rowberry and Richard Layton were on target for the Big Meadow men.

Lukas Paviek struck a hat-trick in Quinton's 5-2 defeat of Badsey Rangers, while Stuart Eades, Ben Huckfield and Solly Ndima scored in Ilmington's 3-1 victory over Earlswood Town.

The other top flight clash, meanwhile, saw Jaisen Balloo net the only goal as Henley Forest won at Halfords.

A bad day for Badsey Rangers saw the village club's second team conceded six at home to Cubbington Albion who themselves conceded four as Navdeep Bhamra and Tony Lambert netted twice for the winners and Mark Skelcher bagged a brace for Rangers.

Chris Lynes also scored twice to help Littleton to a 7-0 Herald Division Two win over Hen-ley Reserves who also suffered at the hands of Tom Heath who scored four times for the winners.

If it was goals you were looking for then London Road was the place to be as Studley Nags Head bagged eight of 13 on show.

Stewart Doughty hit a hat-trick for the visitors, while Chris Brazier netted twice - a tally matches by Shipston's Kevin Kelly in his side's amazing 8-5 reverse.

Those 13 goals were bettered by Welford who won 14-1 at Badsey United in Cutler Division Three. Dan Valentino and Richard Pozzi both scored four goals with Nick Priest netting a hat-trick.

Henley and Ilmington both notched up five-goal wins, Inkberrow netted all three in the match against Blockley, while a treble for Ashley Wil-kes helped Bidford's second string win 5-2 at FISSC.
