Early goals put Moneyfields in heaven in Devon... home joy for Gosport and Baffins

They kicked off early because the home side have floodlight problems, and the men from Dover Road were soon ahead as Steve Hutchings converted an eighth-minute penalty given for a foul on Dan Wooden.

They doubled the lead when Lloyd Rowlatt set up Wooden for an easy finish, and made it three inside the first 15 minutes when Lewis Fennemore played in Wooden for his second. Kevin Squires got one back for Bideford.

Horndean lost 1-0 at Sholing but Baffins Milton Rovers turned on the style to win 3-0 at home to Bashley.

Baffins got off to the best possible start when they took the lead in the third minute as Jason Parish closed down the visitors and the ball fell invitingly to Dale MASON, who curled a shot into the far corner.

The lead was doubled in the 18th minute, again with Mason and Parish involved. Parish chested down a cross from Mason and Tommy TIERNEY turned and expertly found the corner of the net from outside the box.

Shane Cornish thought he had extended Rovers’ lead when heading home an Ashton Leigh corner, only for referee Peter Lowe to judge there had been a foul on the keeper.

Parish brought the best out of visiting keeper Jason Collins when he broke the offside trap but was denied by an excellent save.

PARISH got the better of Collins in the 90th minute when he controlled a ball over the top by Tommy Lee, took one touch and curled a shot with the outside of his boot into the bottom corner.
