Hellenic League

Premier Division

Yate Tn 0, North Leigh 3

This top-of-the-table clash was decided by two goals in three minutes just before the break as North Leigh maintained their eight-point lead in the Premier Division.

In the 43rd minute, a free kick was headed back across goal and Harry Burnley sent a looping shot into the top corner past Yate keeper Ali Hines.

It was Burnley again in first-half injury time as he doubled North Leigh's lead with a low shot through a crowded goalmouth to silence the large home support.

After the break, the champions were much more assured and it was no surprise when winger Matty Ellis deceived the home keeper with a cross shot which dipped under the crossbar in the 70th minute.

Hook Norton 3, Bishops Cleeve 0

Hook Norton continued their impressive form with an emphatic victory over Bishops Cleeve.

On a heavy pitch, honours were even for much of the first half until the 36th minute.

Anton Sambrook fired in a testing shot which the visiting keeper could only parry into the path of a grateful Ben Milner.

Hooky had to soak up some heavy pressure after the break, but weathered the storm and slowly gained the upper hand.

After 67 minutes, Karlton Stratford's corner was met by the head of Andy Parrott for No 2, and Ben Speiro set up Russell Wilkins for the third goal.

Southall Tn 1, Brackley Tn 2

Sixteen-year-old Andrew Prescott came in for Andy Baird, who broke his collar-bone in midweek, and scored with a stunning right-foot effort to help Brackley to victory over Southall.

Prescott's strike from the edge of the area in the 65th minute was cancelled out by a dubious penalty minutes later which Jenkins conver- ted.

Brackley were not to be denied, however, and to cap an all-round team effort, substitute Gordon Bedford scored the winner after Neil King's effort was parried.

Wantage Tn 0, Wootton Bassett 1

Wantage stay second from bottom after failing to make the most of their possession against Wootton.

They started brightly, but failed to test the visiting keeper and were grateful to Paul Belcher in the 35th minute for a brave save.

The second-half deadlock was finally broken on 70 minutes when Wantage failed to deal with a hopeful clearance from the Wootton keeper and a deflected shot beat Belcher.

Wantage struggled to stamp any authority on the game with the only notable chance falling to Alex Lynch in the 85th minute, but his header went over the crossbar.

Didcot Tn 1, Henley Tn 0

Didcot avenged their heaviest league defeat of season earlier in the month by seeing off Henley at home.

A brilliant Didcot move involving Damien Oglesby and Andy Parsons midway through the first half ended with Ian Concannon shooting narrowly wide, but neither side could find a break- through.

Liam Higgins had a good chance to put Henley ahead just after the interval, but shot weakly.

And after Concannon, Glyn Jones and Darren McNamara had spurned chances, Didcot grabbed the only goal in the 70th minute.

Andy Cooper floated a free-kick to the edge of the box, Lee Newport nodded on and Concannon fired home from ten yards.
