Sedgley Sporting marched on in the Beacon Sunday League this week, securing their fourth straight league triumph.

They travelled a short distance to take on mid-table rivals AFC Sporting Gornal and ran out 7-1 winners as Dom Thompson and Leigh Edwards bagged doubles, writes Dave McLean.

Giving the pairing good support were Gregg Poole and Alex Trout, with an own goal making it a nap hand. Chris Hunt netted AFC Sporting's sole reply.

This latest success enabled Sedgley Sporting to open a two point gap at the top of the Concentric Sales & Lettings Western section, after close rivals Woodside Inn slipped up 4-3 at home to CTS United who claimed their third league success in four so far.

In a close encounter, CTS led early on, before Woodside bounced back to take a 2-1 advantage, only for the former to level matters by the break.

CTS notched a further double in the second period to take control and, although Woodside struck a third goal to force a tense finish, United held on to take maximum points to climb into the top four. On the mark for CTS were Owen Harris (two), Josh Baloucoune and Jay Crumpton, the replies from Joe Lawley, Adam West and an own goal.

Netherton Tigers took over second spot with a hard fought 4-3 home success against FC Premier 2014. The Tigers conceded early on, before hitting back to lead 3-2 at the interval.

It was level pegging once more in the second period, before Netherton grabbed a crucial winner with 15 minutes remaining. On target for the Tigers were brothers, Luke (two) and Kurt Fellows, with Dean Powers adding a fourth. Responding were Ernest Kot (two) and Will Bartlett.

Having opened the campaign with three successive defeats, Clinton Cup holders Sedgley Rangers made it two wins in as many weeks, running out 5-2 away victors over Coseley FC with Tyler Goodyear (two), Brad Ormerod, Joe Waterfield and Ed Shone hitting the mark.

It was three wins in five for Wrens Nest Rangers as they saw off visiting Sporting Black Country 4-0, the scoring shared by Tom Gwinnell, Jae Fitzpatrick, Jacob Alexander and Jordan Bernard. Rangers have moved up to fifth spot as a result of this latest success.

In the remaining Western section fixture, Dudley Rangers United and Blades FC shared four goals and the spoils as Nathan Derrick and Albie Turner netted for the former, Jack Hill obliging with a double in reply.
