Top Five All Win

It`s as you were in the race for the Evo-Stik League South Premier title after the top five all won on Saturday.

Hereford FC maintained their four-point advantage at the top after a not unexpected 5-1 win at Edgar Street against bottom-markers Gosport Borough.

There was a hat-trick for Jennison-Myrie Williams in the 32nd, 51st and 59th minutes and a goal each for Jimmy Oates on 41 minutes and Lance Smith on 64 minutes.

Rowan Vine netted a consolation goal for Boro in the 49th minute in front of a crowd of 2,710.

King`s Lynn Town remain in second spot after winning 1-0 at Redditch United.

The only goal came courtesy of Michael Gash just past the hour-mark.

Weymouth are third after an emphatic 6-0 thrashing of a seventh-placed Chesham United on their own Meadow ground.

The Terras took a 16th minute lead when Ben Thomson struck the ball home from 35 yards.

Abdulai Baggie doubled the visitors lead in the 32nd minute.

But it was the second half when Mark Molesley`s side took total command – 15 minutes from time Brandon Goodship made it 3-0, just 2 minutes later Harry Baker added a fourth and then Calvin Brooks bagged a brace in a minute towards the end, with the Generals` misery being compounded by having David Hutton red carded a minute from time after receiving his second booking.

Kettering Town are two points further back in fourth, with two games in hand on the two teams above them and one of Hereford, after a 3-0 Latimer Park victory over mid-table Frome Town.

In front of 610, the Poppies had a great start with a goal inside 8 minutes from Rhys Hoenes.

Brett Solkhon doubled the hosts` lead from the penalty spot after Hoenes had been fouled.

And Aaron O`Connor made sure of the points with a third goal 5 minutes into the second half.

And to complete a full house for the top five, Slough Town were 4-1 winners at mid-table Basingstoke Town.

Sam Smart gave the hosts a great start with a goal inside the opening minute.

But just 5 minutes later, Ben Harris equalised and then George Wells put the Rebels in front right on the stroke of half-time.

Manny Williams added a third 9 minutes into the second period and Simon Dunn made sure with a fourth in time added on.

Tiverton Town`s top five hopes took a possibly terminal blow when they were held to a 2-2 draw at fourth-bottom Kings Langley to leave the Yellows eight points adrift of Slough, having played two more games.

Steve Ward`s spot-kick 2 minutes into the second half gave the home side the breakthrough and Levi Landricombe equalised 6 minutes later.

Tom Bath put Tivvy ahead 13 minutes from time, but Kings salvaged a point with a goal 4 minutes from time from Callum Adebiyi.

Second-bottom Dunstable Town are still in trouble after losing 4-0 at Creasey Park to Hitchin Town, leaving Gosport still four points behind the Blues with a game in hand.

Josh Bickerstaff put the Canaries in front after just 2 minutes and it was game, set and match by half-time as Jonny McNamara netted a brace on 24 and 33 minutes and Lucas Kirkpatrick made it 4-0 from the spot 5 minutes before the break.

Elsewhere, Banbury United were 3-1 home winners over St Ives Town, thanks to a 9th minute Jack Self effort, Ricky Johnson after 72 minutes and Tom Winters 9 minutes from time – Ben Baker having equalised in the 15th minute.

Nathan Hicks bagged a brace as Biggleswade Town won 2-1 at Langford Road against Merthyr Town – Hicks` goals coming in the 8th and 60th minutes, sandwiched by a Corey Jenkins leveller on 31 minutes.

An Aaron Rodriguez goal 11 minutes from time eventually proved enough for Dorchester Town at the Avenue Stadium against Royston Town, while Farnborough took a 5th minute lead at the Rushmoor Community Stadium through Andrew Harris-Sealy, but visiting Stratford Town replied with four goals before the break with doubled from Ben Stephens and Will Grocott.

St Neots Town and Bishop`s Stortford shared a 2-2 draw in the day`s other game in which Darren Foxley gave the Blues the lead a minute before half-time.

Nabil Shariff levelled 2 minutes into the second half and then Dylan Williams put the Saints in front just past the hour-mark, with George Casey equalising 4 minutes from the end.
