Three weeks can be a very long time in football. On 24th March Frampton United travelled to Lebeq United and were hammered 7-0.

But all that was forgotten on Saturday as Frampton turned the tables on the second-placed side to win 1-0.

The win takes third-placed Frampton to within two points of Lebeq in the County League and they have two games in hand.

The decisive goal came after 12 minutes when a ball into the box found Matt Cook who turned and fired home.

The home side almost got a second on 23 minutes from a Manolo Espada free-kick to the far post which Steve Jackson sent only just wide with a header.

Lebeq had a free-kick just outside the box but Danny Wring fired over and on 34 minutes a cracking shot from Lebeq’s Leroy Swaby was well saved by keeper James Marklove.

The visitors made it hard for themselves when Danny Wring was sent off in the 40th minute for a bad tackle and on 63 minutes Espada’s free-kick was really well saved by the visitors’ keeper.

Frampton had the chance to make certain of the points with five minutes to go when Kris Bulley was through on goal but his shot was well saved by the keeper and Shaun Lawson following up missed the target from the rebound.

Stonehouse Town are two places and four points behind Frampton after an emphatic 5-0 win over bottom club Southmead CS Athletic.

Good work by Will Hayward set up Luke Soule to give the home side the lead and when Southmead had Abdi Gure sent off just before the break there was only ever going to be one winner.

Dawid Regula made it 2-0 from a corner in the 55th minute, Liam Wright turned in a cross on 78 minutes and substitute Ben Langworth made it 4-0 just after he had been introduced. Liam Wright wrapped up the scoring with his second near the end.

Hardwicke slipped to their third defeat in a row when they went down 2-0 at home to Kingswood.

The visitors were ahead after just two minutes when a poor clearance sent the ball straight to Charlie Read to knock home. They stretched their lead midway through the second half when Jordan Simms broke down the right, cut in and from 25 yards fired his shot past Chris Perks.

The home side felt that they should have had a couple of penalties in the second half and near the end they were awarded a penalty when Will Matthews was brought down in the box. He then took the penalty and hit it straight at Chris Fox, who had had an outstanding game.

Ruardean Hill Rangers had a convincing 5-2 win at home to Patchway Town and although they had an early chance through Kane Fellows following a Luke Johnson cross, it was the visitors who almost scored when Underwood saved well from a Sam Finn shot.

They did however go in front on 10 minutes when Dan Rees scored from the edge of the area. Patchway keeper Bragg then saved well from Luke Johnson but a couple of minutes later Matt Barnard beat him to score the first of his three for the afternoon.

Just two minutes later the home side went ahead when Shaun Tingle netted from a Luke Johnson pull back. Patchway were only behind for three minutes when Joe Dalby scored from a 25-yard free-kick.

Rangers went 3-2 up on 57 minutes when Barnard was pulled down in the box and Luke Johnson scored from the spot. Barnard made it 4-2 on 59 minutes when he picked up the rebound from a Luke Johnson shot and he completed his hat-trick on 81 minutes after Bragg spilled a shot.

Broadwell Amateurs remain in fourth place, three points behind Frampton with a game in hand, after drawing 0-0 at Wick.
