Fairford put an end to unbeaten run

The action still managed to throw up a real surprise in the Under 17 Division where previously unbeaten Liden Community lost in an 11-goal thriller at Fairford.

The home side went 2-0 up at Cinder Lane before Liden rattled in four.

Fairford came back with two goals of their own to level things up only to see Liden go in front again.

Fairford refused to surrender, however, and two more goals edged them ahead at the final whistle.

Star of the show for Fairford was Duncan Culley with four goals with Olly Garner completing their tally with a brace.

Stratton Juniors B maintained their 100 per cent record, winning 4-1 at Wootton Bassett.

Sean Leake scored from the spot for Bassett, while Stratton's goals came from Anthony Cacchio (2), Rory Sproule and Craig Whitbread.

Stratton's win, though, was tainted by the sending-off of Sproule late in the game.

Shaw's home fixture with Wootton Bassett Town fell victim to the weather and they remain second place, the only other side with a 100 per cent record. Brunel Boys moved up after a 3-1 win over Swindon Badgers, with Danny Willcock (2) and one Harry Bridgman.

Wroughton went top following a 4-1 success at Fairford.

Fairford made Wroughton work for the points and actually the brighter, but Adam Burson settled the visitors' nerves when he scored on 22 minutes.

Burson scored again to make it 2-0 at the break and went on to his hat-trick midway through the second half.

After hitting the crossbar, he then netted his and Wroughton's fourth, before Fairford hit back with a late consolation goal.

Stratton Juniors, meanwhile, were given a surprise by Wootton Bassett, whose Jonny Aitkenhead had to play in goal due to them having no recognised keeper available.

Bassett went in front when Tom Marchment finished a Callum Snooks free-kick, and they held that lead at the break.

Stratton fell further behind to a cross-shot from Phillip Tearle.

Stratton reduced the deficit with a powerful header from Dave Glover, and in the dying minutes their Martin Ayres volleyed over.

At Ferndale the home side ran out 6-4 winners over Eastville Boys.

Eastville played the whole game with just 10 men and made the home side work hard for the points.

In fact, they were 4-2 with just 12 minutes remaining, but, with two players injured, they could not hold on to register what would have been their first win of the season.

On target for Ferndale were Bobby Amos (2), Adam Drury (2), Steve Green and James Chandler, against his former club, while Eastville's scorers were Sam Webb (2), Craig Maddox, including a superb strike from the halfway line, and Adam Leighfield, again against his old club.

Sam English, Callum Jones and Kris Worley hit the all-important goals for Westlea Wanderers at Ferndale Rodbourne, 3-1 the final score in this one. Steve Hall replied.

There was a cracking game at Brunel Boys between Brunel and Highworth Juniors B. Steve Page and Dominic Burtenshaw scored for the home side, Tino Pileggi, Richard Tremblen and Danny King for Highworth, who moved up into fourth. They are joined in fourth by AFC Barbury, 8-3 winners at home to Fairford. James Turner (2), Charlie Grabe (2), Dan Franklin, Nathan Cooper, Toby Green and Joe Rayson hit the target.

The final match saw Highworth Juniors A pick up their second win of the season, defeating bottom-of-the-table Penhill Allstars 6-1.
