Unbeaten Newbury top of Hellenic League table

NEWBURY made it two wins from two and sit top of the Hellenic League Division 2 East table following a 3-0 win over Taplow United on Saturday.

Newbury went ahead half an hour in when George Armstrong scored for the second successive game since signing for the club this summer.

It was 2-0 just before half-time thanks to Terry Paton before second-half substitute Jamie Goddard made it three seven minutes from time.

Centre-back Aaron Voller was named man of the match as Newbeen bury recorded a second clean sheet in a row.

Newbury host Slough Heating Laurencians on Saturday, September 10, in the Charles Twelftrees Trophy.

It’s been a far more difficult start for Mortimer, who sit second bottom having lost both their first two fixtures.

Mortimer were unable to bounce back from an opening-day defeat this weekend, losing 4-2 at home to

Watlington Town, despite a first-half brace from Billy Margets.

The Villagers will be looking to find some form this weekend when they travel to Taplow United before facing Watlington again, this time in Challenge Cup action, the following weekend.

Hungerford Town Swifts have enjoyed an unbeaten start to their Division 2 South campaign, but are still in search of their first three points of the season after back-to-back draws against Faringdon Town and Bourton Rovers Res.

The Swifts took the lead through

Thomas Mahoney, but were unable to double their advantage when Robbie Sadler hit the crossbar from the penalty spot.

Into the second half and Hungerford went 2-1 down and were then reduced to 10 men when Daniel Lachacz was given his marching orders following a second yellow card.

However, the Swifts scored a 90th-minute equaliser for the second week running when Dee Roswell popped up to secure a last-gasp point.

The result leaves Hungerford in seventh ahead of a trip to Letcombe this weekend.
