FADED took full advantage of Box Rovers’ postponed clash with AFC Rowde by beating The Foresters Arms 9-2 to move top of the table in Division Three.

Matt Minnis’ virtuoso display inspired Faded to a vital three points as he smashed home eight goals to take his tally for the season to 42 goals in 11 games, with Phil Carter also on target as Rhys Edwards and Kyle Palmer notched for Foresters.

After suffering a first loss in five games last weekend, North Star Club got back to winning ways with a 2-1 victory away at Forest, who suffered their third defeat on the bounce. Brentley Robert’s 17th goal of the season proved just a consolation as, after Matt Law drew North Star level, Tom King netted their second-half winner.

Despite taking the lead at home to Fox & Hounds, White Horse B were unable to arrest their losing run as they suffered a 3-2 defeat.

James Wase and Jamie Kinchin scored for Fox & Hounds to cancel out Ally Young’s effort and Greg Richardson made it 3-1 in the 80th minute, with Jamie Hancock’s injury-time goal proving insufficient for White Horse.
