Priory are Kings of the Castle

23/ 9/2002

THREE teams in the Premier Division of the BASSA League still have 100 per cent records.

Priory Kings travelled to play Dover Castle and produced another smooth performance as they won 6-1.

Lance Eadie scored a hat-trick. Endle hit two and Love made up the total.

New broom also hit six as they swept past Premier Autos, but it needed a superb hat-trick from super sub Taylor to clinch the points, as Autos threatened to take command with goals from Carney and Ugowe. Broom's other scorers in the 6-3 win were Gilman, Talmage, and Howe.

Legs of Man were the third side to hit six, against Stowells, who had taken the lead through Kent.

Kent's goals woke up Legs who surged back with a brace of goals from Jarrett and Evans. Beswick made it 5-1 before half time. Doherty pulled one back for Stowells before Rogers rounded off the scoring for a 6-2 victory.

White Lion (formerly Cyns FC) top the table after a 10-1 win over Lisa's FC.

In Division One, Kersal Celtic lead the way after a 6-3 win at home to Beech Hill Social. Mitchell, Bailey, and Parker put Celtic in front, but they were pegged back by Social who even managed to miss a penalty.

Further goals from Sheffield and Murphy (2) saw Celtic home.

Taylors travelled to Lightbowne and were in command for the first 15 minutes. But that was when the home side came to life, and they blasted in four goals in five minutes.

Two more made it 6-1 at the break.

The second half saw five more from Lightbowne, with Taylors scoring two in reply.

Scott hit a double hat-trick, Bates bagged four, and Pilkington managed one. Moore scored a hat-trick for Taylors.

Langworthy Lads remain unbeaten following their 5-2 win over Hope.

Lamb Inn and Blackley Rangers fought out a 2-2 draw.
