Bashley Vipers were the outstanding team of the day, warming up with a good victory over Earls before tonking Colden Common by fourteen without reply.  Sam Ward grabbed his second hat-trick of the day for the Vipers in this game but he was outgunned by James Parker-Trott who notched four. Eastleigh showed the benefit of their experience in the league last year with two comprehensive victories over Littleton Lions and Marchwood.   In the second of these games Jack Jerram scored directly from the kick off, something Eastleigh have been practising, so other teams beware. Baddesley Park were the only other dual winners in this league, keeping two clean sheets to boot. Sportstars Green, one of the youngest teams in the league also had a good start picking up three points with young Lloyd Tremelyn netting in both games. Pace Panthers were the draw specialist this week, picking up a point in each of their games. Totton Rangers White and Townhill Emperors begin their campaign on the 17^th September.

Top Match of the day in the Yellow League was the keenly awaited clash between unbeaten Bashley Vipers and Eastleigh. Both had warmed up with victories, the Vipers hammering eleven without reply against Hythe Strikers where James Parker-Trott and Sam Woodward grabbed four apiece, whereas Eastleigh beat the previously unbeaten Baddesley Park by five without reply. In an unexpected one-sided encounter it was the Vipers who emerged victorious, breaching the Eastleigh defences for the first time this season, not just once but on seven occasions, this time it was Owen Fee who earned the plaudits with a hat-trick.Baddesley Park recovered their composure sufficiently to take home the points against Hythe Strikers, with Jean-Luc Ramdin once again on the mark with a hat-trick.Colden Common B took home maximum points on the day, winning against Littleton Lions and Marchwood Rangers, Samuel Williams grabbing four against the Lions and Tom Rodford a hat-trick against the Rangers.  The Lions did get some reward for their day out, banging in six without reply against Earls, Austin Gwilliam knocking in five.  The Earls did have something to celebrate however with their first win of the season against fellow strugglers, Marchwood, Sam Chandler grabbing the only goal of the game. Totton Rangers White extended their unbeaten record with a 5-0 victory over Pace Panthers who generously donated two own goals to add to the hat-trick of Callum Hine.  They then had a much tougher encounter with Southside but emerged on top thanks to a single Ross Stickland strike. Townhill fought a goal-less draw with Southside before running out 4- 0 victors over the Panthers. Hannah Chaffey was once again the heroine, going one better than last week, this time grabbing what must be the first girls hat-trick in the EDMSL.

Totton Rangers White are going along strongly and kept up the pace with good victories over Colden Common B (3-0) and Earls (7-0), Ross Stickland getting a hat-trick against the Earls. Littleton Lions have Thomas Steggle to thank for their 5-0 victory over St Francis Rovers, Thomas grabbed all five goals, a feat that might persuade dad TV presenter Andy to bring along the cameras to the most entertaining football seen on the south coast!  St Francis did go home with a rare point sharing the spoils with fellow basement dwellers Marchwood Rangers, who also drew with Sportstars Green. The Lions went home with all the spoils when they also beat Sportstars Green 3-1. There is no stopping Hannah Chaffey who netted a brace in the 4-2 victory over Earls and then grabbed a single in the 2-2 draw with Colden Common B, matching her with the same tally in each game was Jack Gooderham. Southside scored four without reply against Hythe Strikers before falling to a Jack Jerram hat-trick in their defeat by high riding Eastleigh. Down in the basement Pace Panthers secured their first win of the season courtesy of a Josh Clark brace and screamer from Aaron Ottembrajt that Gareth Bale would have been proud of.  The gap between the top and bottom of the league was exposed though when they were on the wrong end of a 6-0 reverse at the hands of Eastleigh for whom Jack Jerram and Bradley Elkins helped themselves to two apiece.

It took Bashley Vipers some time to get going after the long layoff but they did scrape home with the only goal of the game against Littleton Lions. When they did finally blow the cobwebs away, it was in devastating fashion, as they hammered in fourteen without reply against Marchwood Rangers, no less than three players grabbing four apiece, those being Sam Woodward, Owen Fee and James Parker-Trott. Littleton Lions did get some reward following their gallant effort against the Vipers as they scored two without reply against Baddesley Park, who themselves had won by a similar margin in their earlier match against Marchwood. Totton Rangers White took home maximum points and a vastly improved goal difference as they despatched St Francis Rovers 6-0 and Sportstars Green 4-0. Townhill playing against the same opposition drew with the Rovers and beat the Sportstars 2-0. Eastleigh also had a good day back banging in seven against Earls and six against Colden Common B.

Totton Rangers White are now level on points in second spot thanks to convincing victories over Southside (4-0) and Pace Panthers (7-0).  All of Totton’s goals coming from the dangerous trio of Callum Hine, Daniel Gaudreau and Ross Stickland.  Townhill Emperors consolidated fourth spot with four goal victories over the Panthers and Southside.

The Blue League fell victim to the weather this week, as one of their pitches was totally unplayable and the other barely so.  The fixtures of Sportstars Green, Earls and Littleton Lions were therefore postponed.  Bashley Vipers did manage to get both games under way, in the first they struggled to overcome Southside, but eventually ran out 3-0 winners. In  the second match, normal service was restored with the Vipers running in eleven without reply against Pace Panthers, Owen Fee and Sam Woodward both grabbing hat-trick.  Southside went on to a 2-0 victory over Baddesley Park, courtesy of goals from Dan Drummond and Mustapha Poswall. Baddesley did however pick up two points in a 3-0 win over Pace, aptly named Joe Parkes netting two for the Park. Marchwood Rangers did get in two games against Townhill Emperors and Totton Rangers White, but still went home pointless as the Emperors edged them out 2-1 and then Totton knocked in three without reply. The only other game to be played in the Blue League saw St Francis Rovers draw with Colden Common B, Toby Reed grabbing two for the Rovers.

Bashley Vipers maintained their 100% record with wins over Townhill Emperors and Totton Rangers White but it was not all plain sailing. Townhills Millie Peak, played a stormer in goal but the Vipers pressure finally told and they eventually put five away without reply. Totton Rangers, fresh from their 6-1 victory over Baddesley Park (where Daniel Gaudreau scored all six), then gave the Vipers the shock of their lives as they took an early lead.  The Vipers did manage to peg them back with an equaliser just before half-time but the result remained in doubt right up to the last few minutes, when the Vipers finally secured the points with two late goals. Eastleigh strengthened their position in runners up spot, putting five past Sportstars Green without reply, Jack Jerram scoring three.  They then had to battle hard to overcome an improving St Francis Rovers, eventually recording a 2-0 win. Hythe Strikers remain firmly entrenched at the bottom of the table, losing to St Francis and Sportstars by 5-0 and 4-0 respectively. Earls were on the wrong end of two narrow defeats against Southside and Pace Panthers.  It was a good day for Southside who picked up maximum points by overcoming Colden Common B 3-0.  The Common did get some compensation, pipping Pace by the odd goal in three.

Totton had earlier disposed of Colden Common B by the odd goal in three. Colden Common then went on to lose to Townhill 3-1.  Townhill had earlier edged past Earls to also pick up maximum points for the day. Littleton Lions also picked up four points, beating Sportstars Green 3-0, Thomas Steggle putting away two, and then following up with a comfortable 6-0 win over St Francis Rovers, where Austin Gwilliam helped himself to a hat-trick.
