FORMER champions Shipston Excelsior turned the formbook upside down last Saturday when they inflicted a first defeat if the Stratford Alliance season on Campden Town.

Nick Coe and Dan Hill were Town's tormentors with the two goals in a 2-1 Journal Premier Division win that saw the losers' lead at the summit cut to three points.

FISSC are the side hot on their heels after goals from Mark Smith and Rich Foreman helped account for Badsey United.

There was better news from the village's Rangers' camp after goals from Adam Slade, Dave Williams, Mark Lewis and Tony Wilmott helped defeat basement side Bidford who replied through Steve Lowden.

Alcester Cross Keys have almost wrapped up the Cutler Division Two title after their 5-0 win at Blockley retain their advantage at a massive 18 points.

Second placed Dog and Pheasant's game against Bidford was postponed which allowed Henley Forest, 6-1 winners over Long Comp-ton, to move level on points.

The other match in the section produced six goals with Kenilworth and Campden sharing the spoils.

Sportsmans Arms recorded a tenth straight Herald first division success as they moved five points clear of Ilmington Revolution.

Alcester Lions couldn't tame the leaders who eased to a 5-0 win on an afternoon when a draw between Stratford Spa-rtak and Ilmington was another boost for the section's top dogs.

Quinton's struggles continued as Jim Bunn's goal only proved scant consolation in a 4-1 defeat at Badsey United for whom Dean Williams, Paul Harris, Dave Moss and Paul Feters were on target.
