THERE were goals galore in Cutler Division Three of Stratford Alliance with the six games seeing defences breached 39 times.

Sparmoor provided the most excitement as hosts Blockley edged out Inkberrow by the odd goal of 11.

Shaun Carter netted four of the ten on offer when Badsey United Reserves rattled up an 8-2 success at Tysoe, while Welford's Richard Pozzi matched that tally in his side's 5-1 success at Bidford.

Bryan Wilkins netted twice as Ilmington defeated Quinton 3-1, Sam Manocchehri did likewise as Henley Forest scored five times without conceding at Red Alert, while FISSC boasted three different scorers when tasting success at Welford.

There were a trio of hat-trick aces in matches involving Herald Division Two sides with Dan Ingram netting a treble as Halfords collected three league points in a game of five goals at Studley.

Richard Skan and Matt Lynes both recorded hat-tricks in the Knockout Cup with the former's helping Dog and Pheasant easily dispose of Cubbington and the Littleton man's haul helping his side to a similarly comfortable win at Shipston.

Ilmington and Stratford Spartak both kept clean sheets while picking up three Aquaid Division One points at the expense of Badsey Rangers and Earlswood respectively.

The trio of Knockout Cup winners all found the net three times as Bidford, Henley Forest and Quinton all registered preliminary round triumphs.
