A SHARP Redlynch and Woodfalls kept on the coattails of leaders Bournemouth Manor Reserves with a 5-1 hammering of Holt United Reserves FC.

Redlynch's convincing win put them into second in Bournemouth Hayward Division 1 after their opening four games.

Manager Paul Glover tinkered with the tactics due to two single goal defeats in recent weeks, choosing to play a more compact 4-4-2 formation, and straight away it paid dividends.

Kit Jackson scored a stunning hat-trick with 2 great headers and a rasping 25 yard strike into the top right hand corner, while Luke Charity put in a man of the match performance scoring two goals via an exquisite 20 yard chip.

Lloyd Barr pulled off two point blank saves to halt the visitors, but they eventually conceded to Ben Talbot's second half own goal.

Redlynch host Trowbridge League team AFC Bradley on Saturday in the first round of the Wiltshire Junior Cup.

Redlynch Reserves won a thrilling encounter 4-3 at Parkstone Athletic with goals from Josh Fryer (2), Dan Matthews and James Kenny.

Veterans over 35s beat Wilderness 5-1 with Michael Ball and Andrew Goodridge bagging braces and Martin Tutton getting on the scoresheet.

Veterans over 40s lost 7-1 to BTC but only had nine men, Chris King scoring the consolation goal.
