SECOND from bottom of Division Three of the Birdseye Sports Evesham Sunday League, Stratford-based Queens put their struggles behind them when rattling up their biggest ever league win.

Eight players found the net with Bease leading the way with four goals and Smith banging in a hat-trick as the winners took their season's total from 23 to 40 in one foul swoop while also leapfrogging inactive Norgren.

Jeynes, Fraser, Veitch and Read all netted twice in a rout finished off by single strikes from Ireland and Hickman.

A Kays Sibanda treble gave Golden Cross the points at Pinvin on a day when Crowle continued to crumble after a third successive defeat this time at the hands of Ashton.

Wickhamford moved up a place in mid-table after a six-goal thumping of basement outfit Sporting Theocs with Clements netting a treble.

Two goals from Stanley and one from Hawkins maintained Fairfield Sports' substantial lead in Division Four with victory at Royal Oak.

A Clements' hat- trick led Bengeworth Sports to a comfortable win over Pebworth, a Groves double saw Tesco overcome Blue Maze for whom Cowley replied late on.

Goalkeeper Barry Hawes was in inspired form for the league's bottom side who have now conceded 99 goals in suffering 14 straight league defeats.

Riverside improved their position with a victory over the Gate Inn thanks to goals from Betteridge, Nicholls, James and Heritage, while Cider Mill improved their promotion hopes with an impressive win at Broadway.

Division One leaders Moreton Wanderers defeated Evesham WMC thanks to a second half strike from Marc Jeffs, while goals from McLean, Spencer, Croy and Zujivic gave Upton Snodsbury the points at Offenham.

Peopleton led Broadway United 2-0 with goals from Davies and Baxter before efforts from Smith and Bayliss earned the visitors a point. Inkberrow were unable to raise a team against the Bear.

A Jake Pettitt treble helped second division Tewkesbury Town defeat Oddfellows and move off the bottom, while Matt Casey's goal led Willersey to a 2-0 victory at Badsey.
