A TRIO of Journal Premier Division matches in the Stratford Alliance produced 23 goals - a total easily eclipsed by the handful of games in the Cutler second division.

While Badsey United and Halfords were finding the opposition net seven and six times respectively, Dog and Pheasant blasted in 17 at the expense of hapless Division Two visitors ASC Welford.

Rich Skan again spearheaded the blitz with an eight-goal haul, while Ben Whitmore grabbed a hat-trick.

Jim Cooper scored four as Halfords won their top flight contest 6-0 at Quinton, while three players scored twice for Badsey United in a 7-3 defeat of FISSC.

Lee Atkinson, Iain Langstone and David Stanbra were the players on the mark, while a brace from Dan Hodgkins helped Ilmington Revolution defeat Badsey Rangers by the odd goal in seven.

While Dog and Pheasant were enjoying a feast of goals in the second division, Halfords' second string matched their senior clubmates with a 6-2 win at Ilmington.

Tim Taylor netted a treble - a feat matched by Kenilworth pair Shadrach Muhammad and Simon Myles in their side's 7-0 rout of Badsey Rangers Reserves.

Joe Numes scored twice as Park Tavern won 3-0 at Bidford, while Pete Smith did likewise in Long Compton's 3-2 win over Red Alert for whom Dave Veitch also grabbed a brace.

The action was far more normal in Herald Division Two where six matches produced 15 goals with four of the fixtures averaging three goals per game.

Ali Cil's brace helped Bod-ram overcome Badsey United Reserves, while Max Wood-ward's double for Studley Nags Head saw off Broad-way's challenge.

Terry Whitehouse's brace helped Alcester Lions defeat Littleton 4-0, while there were wins elsewhere for Bidford, 3-0 at Cubbington, and Henley Forest, 2-0 at Shipston.
