BREDON moved out of the Evesham Sunday League's second division relegation zone for the first time this season after victory at Mountinneers.

Doubles from Lee Diamond and Stuart Franklin secured victory, while goals from Phil Layton (2) and Lee Rogers gave second-placed Bidford Athletic the points at Badsey.

A Des Cox hat-trick led Lower Moor to a convincing win over Defford and Besford, while Peopleton defeated Broadway United thanks to goals from Voyce, Marston and Farnsworth.

The top two met in Division Three and honours were even. Broadway led through Annis before a Danny Hill strike levelled matters for Shipston.

Golden Cross moved second with a handsome victory at Tewkesbury Town where Danny James scored five times.

Sears and Roberts both netted twice to help Oddfellows Arms to victory at Queens. Norgren hit five past Crowle with Bryce, Hedderman and May on target.

Fourth division Wickhamford continued their recent recovery with a win at Bengeworth United where Hay (2), Heath and Summers were on target.

Moreton Town surprised Pershore Town in the Evesham Mechanical Services Subsidiary Cup as goals from Barnes, Chamberlain and Hurrell carried the visitors into the last eight.

Upton Snodsbury and Hampton WMC reached the last four of their respective WFA County Cup competitions.

Goals from Brain and Burrows kept Offenham Rovers at the top of Division One with victory over Willersey.

Second-placed Moreton Wanderers were made to work hard before overcoming Inkberrow with goals from Cooke (2), Winters and Mills.
