SILCHESTER Village maintained their chances of winning four trophies after 3-1 win over Twentyten in the Peter Raynbird Cup, writes TONY SPENCER.
They are involved in three cups and favourites to win the league.
Twentyten enjoyed good early possession, but Silchester’s first good play up the right led to a cross which Stuart Leddy half-volleyed into the corner of the net after five minutes.
Twentyten’s Stephen Bean should have equalised with just the goalkeeper to beat but his effort was saved.
Just minutes into the second half and Silchester went 2-0 up from a long throw which Leddy was first to react to.
Twentyten’s Hancock Tanner and Hill had chances, before team mate Tom Skinner clawed a goal back.
Twentyten goalkeeper, Reece Jennings, made a great save to keep the game alive late on, but as they pushed for an equaliser, a defensive mess-up saw Leddy’s net his hat-trick.
Two nasty first half injuries put a damper on the game, Twentyten’s Warren Hill dislocated his shoulder and Silchester’s Lee Neal twisted his knee.
RENEGADES hopes of winning the Division One title were dented as they suffered their first league defeat being beaten 3-1 at Tadley Calleva Development.
The home side goals came from Ellis Theodore on 16 minutes, Harvey Beales 28 minutes, and sub Ewan Young on 62 minutes.
Renegades felt unlucky to be two down at the break, from a deflection and poor goalkeeping clearance.
Gus Reis pulled one back on 56 minutes, he later hit the bar before Tadley’s third.
