Saturday's Premier Division Round-Up

And King`s Lynn Town did so, running out 3-2 winners at The Walks against Kings Langley to split the top three by moving into second spot, level on points with leaders Kettering Town.

It was quite a game in front of 903 as Michael Clunan gave the Linnets an early 4th minute lead.Tom Siddons doubled that lead in the 20th minute, only for Callum Adebiyi to reduce the deficit just before the break.

But just 5 minutes into the second half, Clunan grabbed his second of the game to make it 3-1.

With his first touch, Langley sub Steve Ward got behind the Linnets defence and coolly slotted past Alex Street to make it 3-2 on 58 minutes.

The visitors were then reduced to ten-men when Adebiyi received his second yellow card of the afternoon.

And then right near the end, Lynn sub Toby Hilliard was given an early shower for two yellow card offences.

Redditch United are now fifth after a resounding 4-0 home win over third-bottom St Ives Town.

The Reds had a great start when Andi Thanoj put them in front inside 3 minutes.

Five minutes before half-time, Dior Angus maintained his good form in front of goal to make it 2-0.

Fourteen minutes before the end, Spencer Weir-Daley added a third and Angus bagged his second of the afternoon from the penalty spot 11 minutes from time.

The bottom two, Gosport Borough and Dunstable Town, both suffered heavy defeats.

Gosport woes continued as they slumped to a 5-0 defeat at Penydarren Park against Merthyr Town.

The game burst into life right from kick-off as Elliot Richard opened the scoring after just 33 seconds.

Ian Traylor doubled Merthyr's lead with just 5 minutes gone on the clock and it looked as though it was going to be a very long afternoon for beleaguered Boro

The Martyrs scored a third goal when Ashley Evans headed home after 18 minutes.

Fortunately for the visitors, Merthyr took their foot off the gas. However, the game was already put to bed by this stage, with Merthyr adding to their dominance when Corey Jenkins extended their lead to 4-0 on 63 minutes.

A disastrous afternoon for Boro was then rounded off when Traylor added a fifth in the 73rd minute.

Second-bottom Dunstable did at least manage a goal but also conceded five times at Stratford Town.

Ed Ahenkorah gave the hosts an early 7th minute lead that Michael Taylor doubled on 26 minutes and then added his second and Stratford`s third on 41 minutes, completing his hat-trick just before half-time.

Andrew Osei-Bonsu netted a consolation for the Duns on the hour-mark, but Justin Marsden wrapped it up with the home side`s fifth 17 minutes from the end.

Weymouth are now sixth after winning 2-1 at St Neots Town.

Brandon Goodship continued the early scoring trend by giving the Terras a 5th minute lead.

Four minutes after the break, Harry Baker doubled the visitors` advantage, and they held firm, despite Johnny Herd`s 64th minute reply for the Saints.

Farnborough, hammered 6-2 at home by the Terras in midweek, recovered well to beat Hitchin Town 4-1 at the Rushmoor Community Stadium.

And they had to come back from being a 22nd minute Brett Donnelly goal down too.

Perry Coles equalised after 32 minutes and 6 minutes later, veteran striker Jamie Cureton gave Boro the lead.

Keith Emmerson scored a fine third just past the hour-mark.

And just 3 minutes later, Glen Southam wrapped things up with a fourth.

Experienced striker John Frendo bagged a brace to help Royston Town to a comfortable 3-0 Garden Walk win over Frome Town.

Frendo notched in the 22nd and 48th minutes, with Scott Bridges making sure with a third 16 minutes from time.

Bishop`s Stortford are a place and a point below Farnborough in sixteenth after winning 2-0 at home to Basingstoke Town.

Loan signing Freddy Moncur gave the Blues a 24th minute lead that Afolabi Akinyemi added to on 67 minutes.

At the Avenue Stadium, Dorchester Town and Chesham United shared a 1-1 draw.

But it looked as though Lewis Toomey`s 16th minute goal was going to be enough for the Generals, until Kyle Egan popped up with the Magpies leveller 2 minutes into stoppage time at the end of the game.
