THE Raven are the early leaders of the Crewe Regional Sunday League's end-of-season Premier Division competition
The league proper has been null and voided, but alternative tournaments have been arranged for most clubs. With the George and Dragon versus Faddiley game off, The Raven opened up a three-point advantage on their rivals by hammering Betley 5-2.
The sides were evenly matched in the first half (1-1 at half time), but The Raven stepped up the pace after the break. Josh Wynne scored twice for the home side, and the other goals came from Owen Porter, Gary Pownall and Damian Sloan.
Peter Williams and Keiron Duckers replied for Betley.
In Division One, Group A Sydney Arms made it two wins out of two with a 6-0 hammering of hosts Princes Feathers. Ben Reddock netted a hat-trick and there were further goals from Keiron Banks, Carlos Perez and Alex Forrester.
The Talbot seemed to be heading for a comfortable victory over Cuddington thanks to goals from Scott Rankin and Brandon Grindley.
But Cuddington hit back with two bizarre goals from Kyle Catterall in the closing stages. However, a late goal from Ash Chesters secured a 3-2 win for the Nantwich team.
Winnington Social re-started their campaign with a 3-1 win over Nantwich Pirates, thanks to goals from Jake Bayley, Mike Bell and new signing Liam Millington (pen).
In Group B, Broadhurst FC won a high-scoring game against AFC Talbot. Dom Johnson claimed a hat-trick, Brad West a brace and Taylor Kennerley got the other goal in a 6-3 win. Liam Kelleher, Scott Twigg and Ryan Broadhurst replied for the hosts.
Audlem are another team who have re-started very well, and they were too good for JS Bailey, winning 4-1. Sam Mason's early penalty got them on their way and a well-worked effort from Ben Walker doubled the lead.
Callum Mese then scored twice, while Connor Jones got the JS Bailey consolation goal against his former club.
Sandbach Town got their first win of the season when they beat White Horse 3-2, with goals from Tom Cotton, Lewis Renshaw and Rumen Kehayov. Paul Hatfield and Ben Gilbert scored for White Horse.
