Ashton Boys hit the goal trail
Visitors Ashton soaked up a lot of pressure to start and were indebted to their new goalkeeper Tom Jennings, who pulled off a fine penalty save.
Ashton finally opened the scoring through Frazier Clarke before James Parsons' wind-assisted free-kick gave them breathing space.
Further goals from Jack Rawlings (2), Micky Summerhayes, Joeseph Cook and Mitchell Sharp ensured the away side ran out comfortable winners. Kyle O'Donovan netted Easton's consolation.
In a game expertly refereed by Martin Peters, Roman Glass swept to a 3-0 victory over Stoke Lane in a splendid advertisement for the league.
Lee McNeill opened the scoring after 10 minutes before star man Billy George, with a fine individual effort, added a second.
Stoke Lane enjoyed more possession after half-time but they were unable to severely trouble a defence well marshalled by Elliott Iles, and Josh Winterson completed the scoring 10 minutes from time.
AXA continued their winning form in Division A with a 6-0 victory over Hawkesbury.
Jordon Jones opened the scoring in the first five minutes, following up a Wes Salter shot, and Salter made it 2-0 at the break with a free-kick from the edge of the box.
Lewis Morgan set up Ben Morgan to bundle in the third goal and Salter made it 4-0 with a calm finish.
Ben Morgan grabbed his second of the game following a great through ball from Fraser Organ before James Clayton wrapped up the win from the penalty spot after a foul on Lewis Morgan.
Whitchurch Sports won 4-1 at Ingleside thanks to two Dean Chapman goals and efforts by Conor Walker and George Laver.
Ingleside had taken a first-half lead with a penalty by Andy Pitcher-Sage after Jordan Gale was felled as he burst into the box.
A last-minute winner from Jack Povey gave Cutters Friday a 2-1 win at Olveston, who took an early lead when Luke Jones made contact with a cross with his knee and the ball flew into the top corner of the net.
Olveston could have scored two further goals that would have confirmed their early dominance, but Cutters gradually worked their way back with some neat passing and Povey was always a threat up frontm.
Cutters started the second half brightly and equalised with a spectacular shot from Povey.
Chances came and went at both ends but Cutters stole all the points when Povey was first to react to a mix-up in the Olveston defence to slot into an empty net.
Yate Rangers gained their first point of the season in a 5-5 thriller at Bishopston thanks to a Max Cooper hat-trick and further strikes from Alex Prior and substitute Darren Thornbury.
Bishopston's scorers were Vandad Shah (2), Joel Edwards, Max Roebuck-Sacks and William Jarvis.
Goals from Dan Hanson (2) and Dan Turner were just enough to see Mangotsfield to a 3-2 victory at Yate United – but they almost squandered a 3-0 lead.
Shortly after the third Mangotsfield goal, Yate were given a lifeline when they were awarded a questionable penalty from which they scored.
Yate believed that they should have had a second spot-kick when one of their players appeared to be been fouled but the referee waved aside their appeals. In the dying minutes, Yate did score again but they were left with little time to force an equaliser as Mangotsfield held on.
