Division Three

There were three 6-0 wins in the six games played and plenty of goals in the others.

The leaders are separated only by goal difference. TW Ridgewaye Reserves are top of the class at the moment. They were one of the less prolific scorers, goals from Harry Demmon and Callum Seal (2) being enough in their 3-1 defeat of Ticehurst Village, for whom Matt Sanders replied.

Brenchley take second spot after a close encounter with Speldhurst Rangers. Brenchley's Conor Williams scored an important hat-trick in their 4-3 win, Mike Williams the fourth goal. Rangers Ollie Crees scored twice in reply, Harry Bourne the third. It seems there was plenty of controversy in the game, with a disputed penalty awarded to Brenchley and a later sending off not coming. It was one each at half time, Brenchley having taken the lead from the spot. Ollie Crees equalised ten minutes before the break.  Rangers took the lead after the resumption, Harry Bourne beating the 'keeper to the ball at the near post.  Brenchley levelled the scores, then Crees put Rangers back ahead. Brenchley drew level again after a dropped ball situation and then stole the points near the end.

Now we come to the six hitters! First up of three  6-0 wins are Royal Oak, who put Westerham to the sword with strikes by Joe Rutland  who hit four, Ashley Bell and James Prentis. Then come AFC Borough Reserves, whose trip to play Riverside Colts saw the goals scored by Oscar Harrison (3), Todd Pannell, Billy Mackellow and Chris Hutchins.  Goalkeeper Oliver Pilbeam kept his visitors at bay for a clean sheet.

And Insulators Reserves trumped Dunton Green thanks to Harry Mascall (2), Nik Weedon (2), Josh Henricci and Sam Minter-Frier. Craig Smith was the clean sheet goalkeeper.

A more mundane scoreline for Artois Reserves saw them held to a 2-2 draw at home to Sedlescombe Rangers, when a win would have put them top. Ben Holder and Dan Edmonton scored for the hosts,  Alvin Scott and Bradley Pritchard  for Rangers.
