Kingfisher FC 5 Forest Renegades 0
LOVERIDGE NETS FOUR AS FISHERMEN HIT 5
Having pulled off a surprise 3-0 victory over the previously unbeaten Griffin FC last weekend Forest Renegades would have been confident of getting something from their trip to a Kingfisher FC outfit who had lost their previous three league matches, however the Fishermen had other ideas and returned to winning way thanks to a resounding 5-0 win.
Adam Loveridge was Renegades chief tormenter as he scored 4 of Kingfisher’s five goals. His first of the match separated the teams at the break.
Loveridge netted goals 2 and 3 before Ben Haines got in on the act with his team’s fourth of the morning, before Loveridge completed his red letter day with his fourth and Kingfisher’s fifth of the game.
Marshfield (Sunday) FC 3 Farrington Albion FC 1
MARSHFIELD CLAIM FARRINGTON LEAGUE DOUBLE
In recent times Marshfield (Sunday) haven’t been able to buy a win, their last coming over a month ago when they beat Farrington Albion 5-4, so the return match against the same opponents was welcomed chance to see them grab a second win of the season and they duly obliged with a 3-1 triumph.
Collom McLeary edged Marshfield into the lead, but the hosts were pegged back when Jack Jenkin on his debut restored parity for the visitors. A second for McLeary saw Marshfield retake the lead before the interval.
The next goal in the second period was always going to be important and it eventually went the way of Marshfield’s Ashley Corbyn whose first goal for the club sealed their 3-1 win.
