BASINGSTOKE and District League Division Two leaders Herriard Sports maintained their 100 per cent record with a 4-0 win over visiting bottom side Origin.

However, this was no easy push over with Dave Hawkins side giving their best performance of the season and only early saves from their keeper Dave Purt stopped them leading. It was inevitable Herriard would take the lead and in the 18th Sam Cato’s low shot from a Craig Lewington cross saw them in front.

Another from Cato, this time Stuart Minton with the assist made it 2-0.

Origin held out and a created a couple more chance, but in the 68th minute Cato completed his hat-trick from a Chris Smith pass.

In the last minute came the fourth, Smith again with the pass and Matt Goodman with the finish.

Basingstoke Labour Club remains just two points adrift from the leaders.

This was after a 4-0 win against Longdog Soldiers, who again have their goalkeeper Jake Barnes to thank for keeping the score down to just four. Jake Pratchett also impressed in midfield and in the end they were happy to keep it down to just four goals.

The only goal in the first half came in the 20th minute when Martin Wieczorek had a simple tap in following a Wayne Barlow free-kick.

A penalty kick was converted by Matt Kelly to make it 2-0 in the 55th minute and after Barlow scored their third, Kelly netted his second after Barlow had headed against the crossbar. Chineham went down 2-1 against Twentyten Reserves.

The decider came from player/manager Graham Jenkins three minutes from time.

In a nervy first half, Fin Thompson and Eugenio Carrasco tested the 16-year-old Twentyten goalkeeper Sam Morgan.

It remained goalless until the 62nd minute when Dan Hancock beat the Chineham goalkeeper Nick Tucker, recently transferred from AFC Berg. The long ball over the top from Dan Mellish was picked up by Hancock who made no mistake with his finish. In the 69th minute, Chineham drew level when Thompson beat two men and played through for Luke Russell to net.

With five minutes left Carrasco forced a fine save from Morgan, but two minutes later Jenkins, who had came on as substitute, headed home the winner from a Franklin Spacagna centre. Overton United B and AFC Berg fought out a well contested 3-3 draw at Berrydown, with the equalizer coming in added time. New signing Lee Neal gave Berg the lead, but goals from Jamie Smith and Wat Jones had Overton 2-1 up at the interval. A 35-yard free-kick from Smith gave United a two goal advantage, but they conceded a penalty for a foul on Ben Clarke and Carlos Gonzalez scored the spot kick.

Scotty Winterborne had a great chance to wrap it up for Overton, when put through by Ben Wooton, but he blazed over the bar.

They paid for this miss when at the death Kieran Alleyne broke a away to score the equaliser.
