TOM Stanley grabbed a hat-trick as North Berks League Division 1 leaders Saxton Rovers won 7-4 at Dorchester, writes PHIL ANNETS.

Josh Nicholls (2), Jordan Lyne and Scott Hemming scored for bottom side Dorchester.

But they remain pointless following Stanley’s hat-trick and one goal apiece from Dan Parry, Garry Hartley, Frankie Haines and Kyle Allsworth.

Charlie Lee also scored a hat-trick to maintain Berinsfield’s interest in the title race with a 4-0 home win over Long Wittenham Athletic.

David Murphy grabbed the fourth.

Watlington Town are now five points adrift at the foot of Division 2 following their 2-1 defeat at Hanney United.

James Bishop and James Carline scored for the hosts, with Connor Blayachi on target for Town.

That allowed both Marcham and Faringdon Town to pull away, the latter with an outstanding 7-2 away triumph over Sutton Courtenay.

Colin Yates hit a hat-trick, while Neil Docherty, Max Schofield, Matt Hickson and Richard Evans also scored. Dom Lovegrove and Mason Churton netted for Sutton.

Marcham won 5-2 at home to Turnpike Sports, thanks to Phil Jeacock, Joff Cummings, Jonny Lloyd, Mitch Larman and Dave Yallop.

Aaron Susans struck twice in vain for Turnpike.

East Hendred Res set up a North Berks League Cup final with Hungerford Town Swifts Res after a 4-1 victory over Sutton Courtenay Res.

Josh Gilsenan opened the scoring for the Division 5 side, but goals from Kevin Thimbleby, Tom North, Rich Andrews and Liam Revell meant they were comfortably beaten.
