Scott Jordan of Stonehouse Town FC is holding the match ball!
After he scored a hat rick yesterday in a home game vs Sharpness.
His first goal came after 25mins when he finished off a move in the box to take the lead for Stonehouse.
His second was a great individual goal, breaking in from the left wing, Scott as he approached the edge of the penalty area curved a great ball into the top corner. This was after 30 mins.
At the start of the second half Scott thought he had scored his 3rd, only to see the ball hit the post! However his hat rick came after 69 mins when he finished off a good team move to score, picking up the loose ball in the box.
Scott joins the list of Hat Trick Hero’s for season 26/27
Kyle opened the scoring in the 12th minute, timing his run perfectly to beat the offside trap before sliding a composed finish into the corner of the net.
He doubled his tally in the 33rd minute, losing his marker inside the box and guiding home a well‑delivered cross.
Just four minutes later, in the 37th minute, a defence‑splitting pass sent Kyle into space down the left. He drove forward and hammered his shot past the keeper to complete a stunning first‑half hat‑trick.
The four‑goal rout was sealed in the 69th minute when Kyle stepped up and calmly dispatched a penalty, rounding off an outstanding individual performance.
The new Hellenic League season has wasted no time delivering excitement, with the opening fortnight producing goals galore, unbeaten runs, surprise results and several early contenders staking their claim at the top of the table.
With the Premier Division and Division One now underway, supporters have already been treated to some eye-catching performances and if the opening weeks are anything to go by, this promises to be a season full of twists and turns.
Pegasus Flying High
One of the biggest early stories has been the sensational start made by Hereford Pegasus.
Pegasus opened their Premier Division campaign with a 2-1 victory over Cribbs before producing another impressive performance four days later, beating Stourport Swifts 3-1. They then made it three wins from three on August 15, edging past Longlevens 1-0.
Nine points from their opening three league matches puts Pegasus firmly among the early pace-setters, with a perfect start providing plenty of optimism for their supporters.
Their opening run has been built on consistency rather than spectacular score lines, but three wins from three is exactly the sort of foundation that can turn a promising start into a serious promotion challenge.
Bradford Make Their Mark
Bradford Town also began with a statement of intent.
They dispatched Cinderford Town 2-0 on the opening day before turning on the style against Royal Wootton Bassett, cruising to a 4-0 victory.
That made it six points from two games and eight goals scored without conceding a single goal.
There was, however, a twist on August 15 when Bradford travelled to Highworth Town and suffered a 1-0 defeat. It was their first setback of the campaign, but the opening two performances had already established Bradford as a team capable of making plenty of noise this season.
Westfields and Malmesbury Trade Blows
Westfields have also enjoyed a strong opening to league life.
A 2-1 away victory at Malmesbury Victoria was followed by a 3-1 win at Longlevens, giving Westfields maximum points from their opening two league fixtures.
Malmesbury, meanwhile, endured a difficult opening day before responding emphatically.
After losing 2-1 to Westfields, they bounced back in spectacular fashion against Highworth Town, hammering their opponents 4-1. The result demonstrated just how quickly fortunes can change in the Hellenic League.
Cinderford’s Incredible Response
Cinderford Town have already experienced the full emotional rollercoaster of the opening weeks.
They began with a 2-0 defeat at Bradford, then responded with a narrow 1-0 victory over Droitwich Spa.
But on August 15 came an emphatic statement: Cinderford demolished Hallen 5-1.
Five different goals? Not necessarily the data doesn’t provide scorers, but the score line alone tells the story. After taking three points from their first three matches, Cinderford suddenly have plenty of momentum.
Goals Everywhere in Division One
If the Premier Division has provided drama, Division One has delivered goals by the bucketload.
Wantage Town have been one of the early headline-makers. After a narrow 1-0 win at Bromyard Town, they suffered a 3-1 defeat at Carterton before producing an extraordinary response.
They smashed Redditch Borough 8-1, one of the biggest results of the opening weeks, before following it up with a 3-1 victory over Shortwood United.
That gives Wantage three wins from four league matches and a remarkable 13 goals scored.
Cheltenham Saracens have also made an impressive start. They opened with a 2-1 win over Redditch Borough, demolished Studley 4-0 and then beat Newent Town 3-0. Their perfect opening run finally came to an end on August 15, when they were beaten 2-1 by Brimscombe & Thrupp.
Supermarine Reserves Bring the Firepower
Another side turning heads is Swindon Supermarine Reserves.
They opened with a 5-1 demolition of Shortwood United and followed that with a 4-1 victory over Stonehouse Town.
The reserves were then brought back down to earth by Studley, who produced a 3-2 win on August 8, before Sharpness edged them 2-1 on August 15.
Even so, their opening four matches have shown plenty of attacking threat, and their 11 goals underline just how dangerous they can be going forward.
Sharpness Make Their Presence Felt
Sharpness have quietly put together an intriguing opening spell.
They began with a stunning 5-1 victory at Carterton, then had their scheduled match against Shortwood United postponed. A 1-1 draw with Lydney Town followed before they travelled to Swindon Supermarine Reserves and secured a 2-1 win.
It may still be early days, but Sharpness have already demonstrated that they will not be an easy opponent.
Crowds Turn Out
The opening weeks have also produced encouraging attendances across the league.
Bradford Town’s opening-day clash with Cinderford attracted 228 spectators, while their midweek meeting with Royal Wootton Bassett drew 226.
Droitwich Spa’s home match against Cinderford attracted 241, while Hereford Pegasus welcomed 202 for their victory over Stourport Swifts.
The strongest recorded attendance came outside the league, with 353 watching Wokingham Town defeat Corsham Town 2-0 in the FA Cup Extra Preliminary Round.
Those numbers underline the appetite for football as the new campaign gets underway.
A Season Already Full of Promise
The opening fortnight has delivered almost everything a new season could ask for: unbeaten starts, big wins, unexpected defeats and dramatic swings in momentum.
Hereford Pegasus have emerged as an early Premier Division force, while Bradford Town, Westfields and Cinderford Town have all shown enough to suggest they could be involved in the battle at the sharp end.
In Division One, Wantage Town, Cheltenham Saracens, Alcester Town and Lydney Town have all made strong early impressions, while the likes of Swindon Supermarine Reserves and Sharpness have shown they possess serious attacking potential.
And with the league campaign still in its infancy, there is one thing already certain:
The Hellenic League season is up and running, and it is showing no signs of slowing down.
There was plenty of action across the Hellenic League and Emirates FA Cup Extra Preliminary Round today, Saturday 8 August, with several convincing victories and some dramatic late goals.
The biggest score of the day came at Wantage Town, where the hosts thrashed Redditch Borough 8-1. Casey Highmoor, Callum Crook and Luke Ballard all scored before half-time, while Alfie Tomlin, Seth Humphries, Kenzie Taylor and Harry Dawson added to Wantage’s tally after the break. Humphries struck twice in the second half.
Longlevens also enjoyed a six-goal afternoon, beating Malmesbury Victoria 6-1. Kassa Anderson gave Malmesbury the lead, but Finlay Gwillim equalised before Longlevens took control. Oliver Long, Gwillim, Alex Knight and Gino Valenti all scored, with Gwillim completing his hat-trick late on.
Thatcham Town recorded another emphatic victory, defeating Cinderford Town 5-1. Levi Heholt, Kyle Tooze, Andrew Matthews, Charlie Knight and Callum Winchcombe were the scorers for Thatcham, while Tino Shumba replied for Cinderford.
Nuneaton Town were also among the day’s big winners, beating Westfields 5-2. Eesa Sawyers, Bradley Stretton, Terry Atem and James Armson were on target, with Stretton scoring twice.
Swindon Supermarine came from behind to beat Tuffley Rovers 3-1. Tuffley took the lead through Connor Walters’ penalty, but Connor McDonagh, Dan Warre and Lucas Wilkinson all scored in the closing stages to turn the match around.
There was late drama at Roman Glass St George, where Hallen’s Luke Bence scored in the 90th minute to secure a 2-2 draw.
Devizes Town claimed a narrow 1-0 victory over Hamworthy Recreation, with Callum Demkiv scoring the only goal in the 23rd minute. Millbrook also kept a clean sheet, beating Bradford Town 2-0.
In Hellenic League Division One, Cheltenham Saracens beat Newent Town 3-0, while Alcester Town won 2-0 at Shortwood United and Stonehouse Town edged Chipping Sodbury Town 1-0.

Hellenic league champions Slimbridge travelled to Roman Glass this afternoon. The home side are coming off the back off a comfortable win against relegation threatened Cribbs on Bank Holiday Monday. Whereas Slimbridge are flying high off securing the league at Tuffley.
Slimbridge started brightly and enjoyed the better of the opening five minutes, but despite their early dominance they were unable to trouble Roman Glass goalkeeper Alex Kovacevic.
The home side created their first meaningful chance on 15 minutes following a flowing team move, which ended with Neikell Plummer striking the post from 12 yards. Roman Glass made their pressure count four minutes later when they opened the scoring. Chris Lines delivered a floated corner into the box and Loui Ward rose highest to head past Slimbridge goalkeeper Alex Hammond.
Roman Glass continued to push forward and almost doubled their advantage soon after, but Alex Hammond was equal to Laurent Wilson’s effort with a fine save.
The second half began with another opportunity from a set piece from the home side, as Loui Ward headed wide from a Chris Lines corner. However, Roman Glass soon extended their lead. Matt Spiller won possession with a welltimed tackle before playing a lofted ball over the top for LaurentWilson to run on to, and the forward calmly rolled his finish through the legs of Slimbridge goalkeeper Alex Hammond to make it 2–0.
The away side responded almost immediately, pulling a goal back with their first effort on target. Jack W Smith produced a weaving run before driving a shot into the far corner beyond Alex Kovacevic.
On 81 minutes, Slimbridge goalkeeper Alex Hammond received a yellow card and was sinbinned for the remainder of the match, forcing outfield player Hadyn Evans to take over in goal.
The game was settled in injury time when Roman Glass captain Jennison Williams saw his shot saved by stand in goalkeeper Haydn Evans, but the rebound spun into the air. Substitute Joe McClennen reacted quickest, challenging for the loose ball and forcing it over the line to seal the victory for the home side.
With both teams sitting comfortably in the table not much was expected from this game, but how wrong can you be. For the neutrals it certainly delivered.
Hallen started on the front foot and their first goal of the game came within three minutes. A well worked free kick into the box allows Harrison Fairman to have a shot at goal and Luke Bence is there to re-direct into the opposite corner past Drew Brei in the Longlevens goal.
Longlevens hadn’t really started the game yet with 14 minutes on the clock. The home side had a chance to extend their lead with a lovely through ball by Hallen captain Corey Thomas-Barker, run onto by Harrison Fairman but he forces Drew Brei into a good save.
The away side started to grow into the game shortly after and their reward was an equaliser in the 27th minute. A long throw in by captain Ollie Long and a chest down by Brad Martin and some intricate play allows Brad Martin to play a through ball which allows Dafydd Hyett so slot home.
A corner by Longlevens was their route to take the lead on 34 minutes. It was swung in from the far side and somehow manages to find it’s way to Brad Martin at the back post who can’t miss by heading into an empty goal.
A quick fire double from the away side on 36 minutes. A long ball over the top of the Hallen defence and Hallen goalkeeper Harry Thomas-Barker comes out of his goal and miss controls, which allows Theo Bevan to run into the 18-yard box unchallenged to score into an open goal.
The 40-minute mark came and the was the fourth goal for Longlevens. Jack Beardsell runs through the Hallen defence and puts in a low cross for Dafydd Hyett who has a simple tap in.
The second half had no action to speak of whatsoever. That was until the 86th minute when Longelevens scored their fifth goal. Dafydd Hyett runs down the right and crosses for Gino Valcinti who calmly slots the ball past Harry Thomas-Barker.
Roman Glass made it seven wins from seven this afternoon with a 2-0 win against Cribbs. As the home side look to cement their place in the Hellenic league playoffs. Whereas Cribbs are still languishing in the relegation zone with just two games left of the season. Results recently for Cribbs had looked up with nine points from a possible 18, bringing them closer to survival.
No sooner had we took our seats, and Roman Glass had scored after twenty-four seconds. A long ball from Loui Ward over the top of the Cribbs defence allowed striker Elliott Gardener to run through and execute a delightful lob over Cribbs goalkeeper Aaron Greatbanks.
Another chance for the home side quickly followed two minutes later as a free kick gets whipped into the box and a bit of pinball allowed Loui Ward a free shot, but it was well saved by the Cribbs goalkeeper.
In the 6th minute the second goal should have come but Joe McClennen’s effort hit the post for Roman Glass.
The home side’s dominance continued as on 20 minutes when they struck the post again through winger Laurent Wilson.
The game continued a good battle in the midfield for the reminder of the half as Cribbs started to grow into the game.
Cribbs started the second half much better as on 47 minutes they carved out their first chance of the game through Oscar Sullivan, but it was straight at goalkeeper Alex Kovacevic.
Another bit of good play from Cribbs mid-way though the half from substitute Luca Ponsillo as he weaved his way into the Roman Glass box and his cross found striker Trayvion Jackson but again his shot was straight at Alex Kovacevic in the Roman Glass goal.
The game went into a bit of a lull then with Roman Glass having a few set-pieces taken by Chris Lines, but they were well defended by Cribbs.
Cribbs had a good chance to make the game all square with thirteen minutes left when Michael Barry broke free on the left and whipped a good ball into the box. However, there were no red shirts on the end of the cross.
The game was finally over on 78 minutes when Connor Hartley fired into the Cribbs goal from eight yards. It started with good work down the left by Laurent Wilson who cut the ball back to the edge of the box and a few intricate passes from the home side created the chance for the goal.
Roman Glass line up:
Kovacevic, Stoneman, Tierney, Budd (Ono), Lines, Ward, McClennen (Spiller), Williams (c), Gardner (Hartley), Plummer (Egan), Wilson. Subs not used (Hall)
Well, here we are. The second leg of the FA Vase, with Hallen chasing a 0-3 deficit and Stoneham sitting comfortably.
In the first leg Stoneham cruised to victory scoring three goals in the first half. However, Hallen showed a better performance in the second half to make it a more even contest. Hallen can turn this around with the goal tally they have created so far in the cup with seventeen. Whereas Stoneham is on an incredible run lasting thirty games in league and cup.
The first five minutes was a very even game with both teams struggling to get a hold of the game.
As the first ten minutes approached Hallen had shown they had settled the best forcing Stoneham to defend some long balls and early crosses.
The game showed no sign of breaking into life as the half approached it’s twenty-minute mark, all the action we had was a corner to speak of, which came to nothing. The first goal on the twenty-minute mark from the home team, a good one two between Alex Welch and Tyrrell Sampson resulted in a fired finish from about 12 yards out from the captain.
The half looked to be ending with the one goal, but Stoneham found the net for a second time on forty-two minutes through their captain Alex Welch for his second of the game. A through ball breaks the offside trap and the skipper ran through unchallenged to slot in past Harry Thomas-Barker in the Hallen goal.
A minute later the away side showed their first bit of attacking intent with captain Cory Thomas- Barker forcing Callum Lee into a decent save.
The second half started as the first half with lack of intent from either side to force an attack.
The first action came from a free kick from the right of the box by Lewis Nagle brilliantly saved by Harry Thomas-Barker. The home side started to turn up the pressure mid-way through the half as they searched for a third goal.
The third goal came for Stoneham in the sixty-seventh minute from a quick free kick which the Hallen defence were sleeping and Tyrrell Sampson fired into the goal from a tight angle.
However, Hallen did find their first goal of the game and tie with a long throw-in flicked on by Dylan Tate and quick feet in the box resulting in a shot by Sam Deuchars which nestled neatly into the corner of the goal which sparked wild celebrations from the away following.
