BOTH Heytesbury and Zeals began their cup campaigns with victories.

The former are top of Group One following their 6-0 victory over Greyhound.

Heytesbury were 1-0 up after 90 seconds when Craig Sheppard turned in a Charlie Waylen corner.

Jamie Howse doubled the lead with an excellent finish in the 14th minute and he made it 3-0 after good work from Sheppard.

Two more goals from Sheppard saw him complete a first-half treble to give the hosts a 5-0 interval lead and it was little surprise that Sheppard completed the scoring with his fourth of the game six minutes from time.

Zeals edged out Trowbridge Wanderers Development in a nine-goal thriller with Aaron Carter being the star of the show in their 5-4 victory.

Carter bagged himself a first-half treble with Ik Ichiebuka netting the other as Zeals led 4-3, Matthew Gittins twice and Andre Ribeimo scoring for Wanderers.

Ribeimo added his second and Wanderers' fourth, but it was little more than a consolation as a fourth for Carter secured maximum points for the hosts.

After suffering a 6-1 defeat at the hands of Aces last weekend, the Stiffs fared a lot better when they teams met in the reverse clash, as it took a late goal to earn Aces a 3-2 win which sees them as early Group 2 leaders.

The Stiffs led on 15 minutes through Stan Keen’s effort but a Rich Taylor own goal restored parity for Aces who took a 2-1 lead on 65 minutes with Rob Garraway scoring.

George Hartrey’s goal in the 85th minute looked as if had earned Stiffs a share of the spoils, but with two minutes remaining Steve Tuke popped up with the winner for Aces.

Holt got their cup campaign underway at home to Melksham Town B in what was a thrilling contest that saw the points shared as the teams battled to a 4-4 draw.

Joe Walker stroked home Holt’s opener on 12 minutes. Jamie Broom got Melksham back on level terms and Sam Robinson put them 2-1 up before Jack Parker slotted home to square things up prior to half-time.

Lasse Deblitz pounced to regain the lead for Holt and Jack Parker’s screamer into the top corner put the hosts 4-2 ahead.

Gage Jones reduced the deficit for Melksham before Sam Townsend netted a last-minute equaliser, which came after Holt had seen Jiordan Burrell-Mendi sent off for violent conduct.
