Hartshill FC demolished Coundon Court 16-0 at the weekend to take top spot in Division Two on goal difference.
The stunning result left the visitors in tatters as they were torn apart by Wayne Hadley’s men who finally clicked into gear after a sluggish start to the season.
Defeat on the opening day at Fillongley was followed up by a 3-0 success over Potters Green.
Although it was three points in the bag Hadley was not impressed and felt there was plenty of room for improvement from his players.
Their second victory saw them have to come from 2-0 down to secure a dramatic 3-2 win in injury time and again the manager was not happy with his sides performance.
There were no grumbles this time though as they started the match at a tremendous pace and maintained their authority throughout.
Wayne Boon top scored in the match with a double hat-trick, while Mark Horne weighed in with five.
It leaves the Certax Accountants sponsored side top of the table as they look to complete their fourth successive promotion.
It was not such good news for the reseves at the weekend though as they threw away a two goal lead at Brinklow Reserves and had to rescue a point in the end.
After taking the lead through Danny Taylor’s neat finish in the top corner, the visitors doubled their lead just after the break with a clever header from Daniel Green looping over the keeper and into the empty net for the new signings’ third goal in two games.
Then came the turning point though as Hartshill’s honesty saw them admit to the ball being out of play in the build up to what would have been their third goal.
The ball was in the net but the game returned to a throw-in after the visiting officials informed the referee that the ball had not been kept in play.
Within seconds the ball was in the net at the other end and Brinklow had renewed confidence.
Two minutes later they equalised and ten minutes after that they were ahead.
Hartshill had seemingly grasped defeat from the jaws of victory before Carl Hutchison rescued a draw with a looping header from Arnie Grifffiths’ long free kick.
This weekend sees both sides take a break as there are no fixtures for the club.
All players are reminded though that the club hosts a race night on Saturday 26 September here at the Royal Oak.
Everyone is urged to attend and support the club events whenever they can.
