WITH Division Three leaders Melksham Town A not in action, they saw their lead at the top of the table cut to three points by both Potterne and Aces FC, whose victories over respective opponents Zeals and The Stiffs saw them move onto 25 points with FC Box Steam Brewery, who were also without a fixture.

Steven House’s hat-trick, two goals each for Ben Mason, Neil Clark and Craig Campbell and singles for Dean Taccuso and Ashley Huntley made up the 11.

After Connor Standfield had given Zeals the lead Aaron Carter added their second.

Aces returned to action after a five week lay-off, and they couldn’t have wished for a better start to 2015.

A 7-0 victory for Aces at home to The Stiffs saw them consolidate fourth spot.

Two goals in the first 10 minutes and three in the last ten made the result look a lot worse than it was for the Stiffs, who had a severely weakened team and played the whole game with 10 players.

Mike Little top scored with four that took his tally for the season to 21. Greg Richardson, Kevin Jenn and Tom Lakeman added the others.
