A round up of yesterday's games in the Southern Premier League written by Steve Whitney.
Banbury United and Kettering Town both maintained their 100 per cent starts to the new Evo-Stik League South Premier season by earning back-to-back Bank Holiday victories on Monday.
Banbury dominated their game at Creasey Park against a Dunstable Town side who had only one point from their opening four games ahead of kick-off.However, it wasn`t until the 37th minute that experienced striker Jefferson Louis managed to break the deadlock.
Nine minutes after the break, Tom Winters added a second and then Darren Pond after 71 minutes, Conor McDonagh 3 minutes later and then Pond again 8 minutes from time made it a nap hand for the Puritans.
The Poppies attracted a crowd of 727 for their Latimer Park contest against St Neots Town, who have also yet to win this season to date.
Two goals in 3 minutes from Ben Milnes (16 minutes) and a Rhys Hoenes penalty put the hosts in command.
Rene Howe added a third in the 33rd minute, and that`s how the scoreline remained.
King`s Lynn Town, Merthyr Town and Stratford Town are also yet to taste defeat this term to date.
The Linnets won 3-1 at St Ives Town, thanks to a brace from Tom Siddons in the 77th and 84th minutes and a third 3 minutes into stoppage time from Harry Whayman – and all after Jimmy Hartley had given the Saints a 58th minute lead.
The Martyrs held promoted Hereford FC to a 1-1 Edgar Street draw in front of a massive crowd of 3,366.
It seemed to give the visitors a boost as Kyle Copp broke the deadlock to give them a 66th minute lead.
But Welshman Gethyn Hill rescued a point for the Bulls 6 minutes from time.
Stratford shared the spoils for the fourth time in five games – this time a 0-0 draw at home to a Redditch United side who had hit four 48 hours earlier.
Joining Dunstable and St Neots in still searching for that elusive first win are Gosport Borough and Bishop`s Stortford.
Gosport were humiliated 8-0 AT HOME by Basingstoke Town with former striker Ben Wright netting twice.
Sam Smart and Jack McKnight also bagged braces with a Ed Sanders own goal completing the rout.
Bishop`s Stortford at least picked up their first point from a 0-0 home draw with Biggleswade Town.
Hitchin Town put their first win on the board, 1-0 at Top Field in front of 513 against promoted Royston Town.
Callum Donnelly`s 35th minute effort eventually proved to be the Canaries` winner.
There was also only one goal at Frome Town where visiting Tiverton Town claimed the spoils, courtesy of a 10th minute Jamie Price goal.
One goal was enough as well for Chesham United at the Meadow against Kings Langley – but they left it late, with Callum Bunting`s winner coming in the 88th minute.
A crowd of 1,505 saw Weymouth earn local bragging rights at the Avenue Stadium against neighbours Dorchester Town.
Brandon Goodship gave the visitors the lead on 26 minutes.
Jake McCarthy doubled the Terras’ lead 2 minutes after half-time.
Dorchester’s situation became even worse when Tom Blair was sent-off for a stamp on Ashley Wells on 53 minutes, before McCarthy wrapped up the points with a third 6 minutes afterwards.
Slough Town won 2-1 at Cherrywood Road against promoted Farnborough.
Matt Lench`s 11th minute goal for the visitors was eventually cancelled out by Perry Coles with just 10 minutes left to play.
But 2 minutes into stoppage time, Chris Flood grabbed the Rebels winner.
