BATH SUNDAY Division 1 leaders Carpenters Arms were comfortable winners at Flan O'Briens in the Roper Rhodes Bathrooms Bath & District Sunday League.

The visitors were three up at the break and went on to win 5-0 thanks to goals from Liam Marsh (2), Ben Wiltshire, Jason Adams and Luke Shean.

Kingsmead moved up to second place with a 4-0 home win against UBMS. James Riccio smashed home a close-range shot midway through the first half but UBMS were still in the game until 15 minutes from time when Alex Wright headed home Nick Tiley's cross.

The points were sealed when Ritchie Chandler headed the third and substitute Callum Davies was first to reach a Ben Parsons through ball to slot in the fourth.

Horseshoe Sports gained their first points at home this season, beating University of Bath 2-1. The students were ahead on 15 minutes through Callum Shields but Mark Pillinger headed Horseshoe level before half- time and Simon Gilbert scored their winner with 20 minutes remaining.

The game of the day involved GT Sports at home to Odd Down, where Ki Davies's early penalty miss proved costly as GT raced into a 3-0 half-time lead through Stu Hunter (2) and Carl Sintillo.

Steve King reduced the arrears after 60 minutes and Davies made it 3-2 with 15 minutes remaining but Odd Down couldn't snatch an equaliser and GT's Blaine Crooks made it 4-2 in the last minute to secure the points.

A depleted Southdown Rangers side were indebted to manager Rob Collins to be able to field 11 players at Marshfield. The manager, who admits to being the wrong side of 50, played up front for Rangers but could not prevent his side going down 6-0.

Pete Collins almost gave them the lead when his shot hit the bar but instead it was Marshfield who were three up by half-time following a Bobby Jenkins brace and a Pete Tye strike. They added to their tally after the break through a Tim Weeks penalty, Tom Brown and Tony Rose.

London Road's excellent run in Division 2 continued as they eased to an 8-1 victory over Rose & Crown Vultures.

Beddas and Stevie Halliwell both bragged braces after Jodie Simmonds had opened the scoring from the penalty spot. Terry Maslen, Sebastian Grubb and man of the match Rickie Scott were also on the mark.

Bear Flat overcame a slow start, which saw them concede early on, to win 4-1 at Bath Spa University. Matty Harding equalised, an own goal followed and Mark Gunning got the end of Jamie Ball's drilled cross to make it 3-1 before Rob Francis killed the game off after good play by Shane Sullivan.

Bath Arsenal were made to work doubly hard for their victory over Bath City Youth in Division 3 as they preserved their 100 per cent start to the season.

They took the lead just before half-time when Banks slid Harrison through on goal and he smashed his low shot in off the post. City Youth hit the bar before Mike Brown scored two goals with his right foot in the second half.

In Division 4, Marshfield Reserves had to settle for a 2-2 draw at FC Bathelona, despite leading at the break through Jack Hughes and Jordan Bennett.
