Monday's Evo-Stik South, West Round-Up

In front of a good crowd of 401, Les Afful gave the Peacocks a 26th minute lead from the penalty spot and then Ollie Chamberlain took them into the break two-up with a second right on the whistle.

On-loan striker Olly Mehew confirmed victory with a third with 8 minutes remaining.

Newcomers Bristol Manor Farm also remain unbeaten, with Farm taking second spot in the fledgling table after a 2-1 home win over neighbours Larkhall Athletic.

Troy Simpson gave Farm a 10th minute lead they held until the 65th minute when Cory Simpson equalised.

But Dean Stamp won it for the hosts with 10 minutes to go.

Josh Parsons gave `Marine a 14th minute lead at the Webb`s Wood Stadium against relegated Cirencester Town.

Alan Griffin responded within 3 minutes, but Brad Hooper`s penalty 5 minutes into the second half sealed the home side`s win.

Shortwood United and Cinderford Town both recorded first wins of the new campaign.

Levi Cox proved to be Shortwood`s hero as he netted a hat-trick in their 3-1 win at Slimbridge.

Marley Thomas had given the hosts a 9th minute lead before Cox struck in the 53rd, 60th and then completed his triple 4 minutes into stoppage time.

Declan Morley-Lyne after 22 minutes, a Lewis Clayton own goal 3 minutes later and then Rob Atkinson 9 minutes from time sealed the Foresters comfortable win.

Josh Harfield`s goal on the half-hour mark eventually proved enough for Winchester City at home to Wimborne Town, while the second biggest crowd of the day in the division – 502 – saw Bideford triumph in the Devon derby at Barnstaple Town, thanks to goals from Ryan Turner after 14 minutes and Billy Tucker in the 81st minute, Chris Ibbeson replying for Barum 3 minutes from time.

The biggest crowd assembled at the Raymond McEnhill Stadium to see Salisbury FC beat AFC Totton 2-0, courtesy of goals from Marvin Brooks in the 29th and then on the hour-mark from the spot.
