Cobham Sports are back at the summit after a 3-0 home win over Dorchester Sports saw them reclaim top spot. Asa Phillips set Cobham on their way with the opening goal before the interval, and the hosts made sure of the points in the second half through Luke Burbidge and Sam Lench. Their return to the top was helped by Bournemouth Electric dropping two points at home, as the previous leaders were held to a 1-1 draw by Gillingham Town. Kareem Solomon was on the scoresheet for Electric, but Bradlee Sheppard's penalty ensured Gillingham left with a share of the spoils. There was no such shortage of goals at Hamworthy Recreation Res, although unfortunately for the hosts the majority went the way of Westlands Sports. Phil Ormrod enjoyed a remarkable afternoon with four goals as Westlands ran out 7-1 winners, with Lucas Corley adding a brace and Jamie Green also finding the net. Harrison Taylor grabbed Hamworthy's consolation on another tough afternoon for Rec, who remain bottom without a point after eight games. The Bulls were in fine form at Petersham Lane, where Holt United eased to a 4-0 win over Portland United Reserves. Ali Williams, Ollie Wilson, Ben Hands and George Ashby all got in on the act as Holt combined four different scorers with a clean sheet. Wareham Rangers, meanwhile, rounded off an excellent week with their second victory, overcoming Hamworthy United Reserves 4-1. Johnny Powell struck twice, while Jordan Churchill and Jayco Phillips added the other Rangers goals. The visitors' solitary reply came via an own goal. Will Pryor was the difference in Swanage, helping himself to a hat-trick as the hosts defeated Bournemouth Sports 3-1. George Harper replied for Sports, but Pryor's treble made sure the points stayed in Swanage, meanwhile, at the College, Balti Sports also enjoyed a 3-1 success, with Troy Walbridge, Matt Chambers and Ryan McKechnie finding the target against Verwood Town. Dave Kerr provided Verwood's response. There was a much tighter affair across the border in Wiltshire, where Wimborne Town Reserves edged past Mere Town by the only goal of the game. Jake Collett-Carr proved to be the match-winner, his strike enough to secure a 1-0 victory and send Wimborne home with all three points.
