Bristol Premier Combination: Promoted Mendip United took another step towards further league honours with a resounding 7-2 Premier Division home win over Pucklechurch Sports, who were relegated from the Gloucestershire County League.

The shell-shocked visitors were rocked by a seven-goal salvo in the first half-hour from last season's Division I champions before hitting back after the break with a double from Brad Flook.

Mike Jennings celebrated his return to Mendip following a short spell with Hengrove by notching a hat-trick and further goals flowed from Dean Maggs (2), Ashley Riddick and Ashley Marr in a remarkable early scoring burst.

Roman Glass St George Reserves came from behind to grab a 3-2 away victory over Talbot Knowle, who raced into a two-goal lead with Mark Leigh scoring twice. Saints replied with strikes from Dean Delph, Rob Talbot and Danny Grosland.

Hallen Reserves recorded a 4-1 home success against St Philips MAS, after falling behind to an early goal from James Simpson.

Newcomer Barry Hollow, from Scotland, and Tony Beacham both bagged braces for the hosts, who have made a good start to the campaign under Lee Fairman and Matt Isaac.

Chris Dibble gave Nicholas Wanderers a second-minute lead from a corner away to Winterbourne Reserves, who turned round 2-0 down at the break. Sean Cooper replied to spark off a late rally by the home side but the Wanderers defence survived the onslaught for a 2-1 success.

Brimsham Green had an equal share of the play at home to South Bristol Central, for whom Ben Garland slotted in the only goal in the 84th minute of a hard-fought 1-0 victory.

"We played well in the first half and were unlucky to lose as the ball cannoned off our goalkeeper Graham Court when SBC scored," said Brimsham's disappointed secretary Phil Martin.

Longwell Green Sports Reserves are setting a hot pace in Division I after being promoted as District League champions and enjoyed a 6-2 home romp against St Marys.

Saints twice equalised through Dave Gainard and player-manager Ali Stewart before crashing to goals from Chris Dauncey (2), Craig Madine, Mike Hardiman, Jordan Greenwood and Simon Warren.

Totterdown United returned to form with a 4-1 win at Henbury Reserves, for whom Paul Matthias levelled the score at half time.

On the mark for the Totts were Matt Sweet (2), Aaron Thorne and Adam Coombs in what secretary Jeff Bryant described as "our best performance of the season".

A double from Kevin Mills put Shaftesbury Crusade on top at the interval at home to Oldland Abbotonians Reserves, who bounced back to win 3-2 thanks to Troy Love, Ashley Bernard and Mark Cole.

Paul Coles was the first-half scorer for AEK Boco, who beat Frampton Athletic 3-0 with the help of two late goals from Danny Coles, as the hosts pushed forward for an equaliser.

Paul Mason netted a consolation for Patchway Reserves in a 3-1 home defeat by revitalised Hillfields OB, for whom Matt Wilton hit a hat-trick, which included a penalty.

Problems mount for Olveston, hammered 4-0 at home by Greyfriars Athletic, whose tally was shared by Ricky Woodland, Aaron Sexton, Stuart Kelly and Pete Mather.
