Harry the hero as his treble fires Rockleaze to victory

-

AFTER failing to score last week, Rockleaze Rangers found their shooting boots by putting five into Bromley Heath United’s net and conceding just one.

Liam Cann gave hosts Bromley Heath a ninth-minute lead, but Harry Madge made the most of a defensive error to equalise six minutes later.

Sam Bailey quickly put Rangers ahead, and Madge struck again on the half-hour to make it 3-1.

Madge completed his hat-trick early in the second half, and Jordan Connor wrapped up the win with an 85th-minute strike.

AEK Boco went top of the table with a 1-0 victory at Ruardean Hill Rangers, continuing their 100 per cent start to the season.

The goal came in the 45th minute when Alfie Clarke slotted home a penalty.

Wick are unbeaten this season after a 2-1 victory at home to Broadwell Amateurs.

The home side took a thirdminut­e lead when Rob Moore turned in a Jordan Yeo cross.

On 15 minutes, Ben Harris almost made it two but for a great save from Broadwell’s goalkeeper.

Five minutes into the second half, Broadwell almost scored following a goalmouth scramble with the final shot hitting the upright.

Wick scored again on 57 minutes and this time it was Mike Hardiman who finished off a Yeo cross.

With 15 minutes to go, Broadwell were given a lifeline when Danny Latham scored from the penalty spot.

Hardwicke and Patchway Town shared a point each after a 1-1 draw at Hardwicke.

The visitors took the lead after the ball pinged about the goal area and the unfortunat­e Shaun Poole turned it into his own net. The home side equalised when Will Higgins turned in a cross.

Henbury suffered a 5-0 defeat at home to Sharpness, who had a hat-trick from striker Sam Strickland.

The visitors made good use of the strong wind which was behind them in the first half and took a secondminu­te lead when Strickland knocked in the rebound after his initial effort was saved by goalkeeper Lewis Jefferies.

Strickland hit a second on 20 minutes when he outstrippe­d the home defence to hit the ball past Jefferies.

Strickland had a 35th-minute strike ruled out for offside, but the visitors went three up in the 48th minute when James Priddy headed home from a corner.

On 55 minutes, Strickland again showed his pace when he broke clear of the home defence to complete his hat-trick.

Henbury’s Warren Collins struck the crossbar with a shot on 70 minutes.

Play was held up for 15 minutes due to a serious injury to the visitors’ Ryan Collard.

Sharpness made it 5-0 on 86 minutes when Marley Thomas scored with a shot from inside the penalty area.

Hanham Athletic gained a useful point from a goalless draw at home to Gloucester­shire County League newcomers Shirehampt­on.

Both sides had some good chances to take the three points but were either let down by poor finishing or denied by good goalkeepin­g.
