BUGBROOKE were giant-killers for the second time in the less than a week as they beat UCL Premier Division side Wellingborough Town 3-0 in the FA Vase first round qualifying on Saturday.
The Badgers travelled to the Dog & Duck in good heart following their midweek FA Cup replay win at Ely, and they returned home even happier following their emphatic 3-0 win.
It was scoreless at the break, but Bugbrooke took control on the restart to win comfortably thanks to three goals in 10 minutes from Lee Wilson, Will Briscoe and George Hunt.
In the Chromasport UCL Premier Division, Cogenhoe United enjoyed an excellent 4-3 win at Peterborough Northern Star, the home side having gone into the game protecting a 100 per cent record.
Things started well enough for the home side who took a 10th minute lead when Wayne Morris glanced in Callum Reed’s flag kick, but 11 minutes later it was 1-1 when Ben Foster slotted home a penalty.
Josh Urquhart then put Cooks on front on 29 minutes, before the home side levelled through Reed on the hour.
Three minutes later Star were back in the lead with Danny Escorsio netting but back came Cogenhoe with a 70th minute effort from Darren Frost before Lewis Leslie won it for Cooks with a header 10 minutes from time.
It was another bad day for Long Buckby as they succumbed to a 3-0 defeat at Newport Pagnell.
They have now lost three league games already this season - one more than they lost in their entire title-winning campaign last time around.
In division one, ON Chenecks are in second place in the table after they maintained their unbeaten start to the season with a 4-3 win at Eynesbury Rovers.
It was a great result for Chens, who had lost on their previous 11 trips to Hall Road.
Lee Bradley’s first minute starter for Chenecks set the ball rolling, but the home side equalised two minutes later.
Ben Cole then gave Eynesbury a 13th minute lead, but after the break goals from Calvin Budd after 52 minutes and Bradley’s second a minute before the hour mark turned the contest Chenecks’ way.
Chenecks player-boss Graham Cottle scored to give the visitors breathing space with nine minutes remaining.
And although Eynesbury did pull one back four minutes from time, Chenecks held on for the three points.
Sileby Rangers made it two wins out of two as they coasted to a 4-1 success at Olney Town.
A strong start by the visitors saw Phil Cassidy give them a first minute lead and Steve Blackwood doubled the Rangers lead ten minutes in.
Steve Watson put Olney back in the game after 25 minutes, but Jake Newman doubled the Sileby tally with his first two goals for the club after 75 and 90 minutes.
Things are not going well for Spencer, and they lost again, this time 3-2 at Buckingham Town.
The Millers found themselves 3-0 down after 50 minutes, and although they fought back through goals from Tomasz Mikutel and Ashley Simpson, it waas too little, too late.
