Premier Division

COGENHOE1

BLACKSTONES2

STONES breathed a sigh of relief after grabbing a first success of the season.

Dave Bird's men fell behind early on, but they turned the game around to take maximum points.

Elton Holmes levelled from the penalty spot after a handball decision and young striker Mark Jones bagged his third goal of the season early in the second half with a near-post header.

Stones also hit the bar through a Chris McRoyal free-kick as Bird sampled that winning feeling for the first time.

He said: "It feels great to have got the first win on the board. We all know that we face a battle this season so it is nice to be on our way in a game where we probably didn't expect it to happen."

Blackstones: Flavell, Blowers, Smith, Jones, Ruscillo, Ainslie, Doyle, Dancy, McRoyal, Jones, Holmes (Thompson). Unused: Clarke, Fountain, Booker.

DEEPING2

DAVENTRY TOWN5

RANGERS chief Tuncay Korkmaz was the first to admit he didn't see this shock result coming.

Deeping's unbeaten record was blown apart by the reigning Division One champions at a stunned Outgang Road.

Rangers had begun the season with four successive clean sheets but had no answer to a rampant set of visitors.

Korkmaz said: "It is a very big shock to the system. We have not conceded five goals at home before during my reign and I don't ever want it to happen again. It just wasn't good enough."

Ashley Stevens fired Deeping level at 1-1 on the half-hour but his second goal 12 minutes from time was nothing more than a consolation.

Deeping: Bircham, Burton-Jones, Cornell, Porter (Goode), Ellis, Baines (Kingston), Semple (Boome), Ellison, Weston, Stevens, Bettinson. Unused: Korkmaz, Leckie.

DESBOROUGH2

BOURNE1

THE Wakes brought up an unwanted hat-trick of league defeats when going down at Desborough.

Bourne haven't managed a success since beating Long Buckby on the opening day.
