B.A.F. Edge Ahead with Crucual Win
League leaders B.A.F. edged a point ahead of the pack after a fractious 3-1 win against Kop Idols. Skipper Sam Gregory fired two early goals before Idols managed to haul themselves back into contention. In pursuit of an equaliser, they left themselves exposed to a 3rd and decisive strike from B.A.F, for whom Ryan Allen was in commanding form.
Mallards and FC Athletic both earned their first point of the campaign. Mallards took an early lead against 2nd placed Quims Park Rangers, and looked set to hang on for a shock victory, but they eventually succumbed to a QPR equaliser, although Oli Ashman earned the Man of The Match award for Mallards.
FC Athletic and Radstock United shared the spoils in a classic 6-goal thriller. In a game for the purists, Athletic seemed to have the game won at 3-1 midway through the second half, but inspired by Blue Fuller and Luke Buckton, United showed great spirit in getting back on level terms.
Newcomers The Radi-Cause were given a customary welcome to the Thursday night league - a good old-fashioned thumping! The wily Sons of Pitches showed all their experience with a well-crafted 7-1 win inspired by Adam Pugsley, although the Radis showed plenty of signs that they will warm to their task once they find their feet in the league.
