After their 11-0 rout of Bashley at Eynsham Park in November, North Leigh completed another demolition job on the Evo-Stik Southern League Division 1 South & West strugglers on Saturday.

The Millers had to settle for just 6-1 this time – with a brace from free-kick expert Stuart Hole – against an improved Bashley side, who have moved themselves off the bottom.

With a packed defence, the hosts were able able to repel the Millers’ early attacks on a heavy pitch.

But on 15 minutes they were unable to prevent the first goal as Callum McNish squared the ball to Kieran Sanders, who rifled home a low shot from the edge of the box Only an acrobatic save from visiting keeper Matt Bulman prevented Bashley’s most dangerous player Jack Hoey equalising with a fierce free-kick.#

Just before the break, North Leigh’s Hole (pictured) fired home a free-kick of his own to double their lead.

Two minutes into the second half, the visitors were 3-0 up as McNish was brought down just outside the box and Hole curled another of his superb free kicks Shortly afterwards, Andy Gunn stole into the Bashley six-yard box at a Sanders corner and looped a header over keeper Callum Maher into the far corner of the net.

Bashley kept pushing forward and on 57 minutes won a corner on the left.

The ball was headed out to the edge of the box, from where Hoey lashed home a volley past a melee of players from 15 yards.

Six minutes later, the Millers made it 5-1 from yet another free-kick.

This time, Michael Hopkins replicated the accuracy of Hole’s earlier efforts by curling a left-foot shot Maher could watch go into the top corner of the net.
