GRANT CORNOCK may have dropped down a few levels on the footballing ladder since he was with Watford, but the former professional striker showed he has lost none of his goalscoring instinct by smashing nine in Duke of York's 16-0 demolition of Met Police Bushey B.

The other goals in the Division Three clash were shared between Daniel Hedger, Luke Turner, Richard Booth, Matthew Keeler, Dave Burns, Alex Walton and Richard McBride.

Glenn Sports' disappointing start to their Premier Division campaign continued with a 2-1 defeat at Oxhey.

Mark Bates' goal was not enough to salvage a point for Sports, who have now lost their opening three league games, as Roland Wyatt and Colley wrapped up a first win of the season for Oxhey.

After two straight wins, Oxhey Jets A were brought back down to earth with a bump by arguably the most potent strike pairing in the recent history of thel eague.

Andy McShannon and Pat Coregan both bagged a brace apiece, and Anthony Smith also netted as Hemel Hempstead Rovers wrapped up a 5-0 succcess.

Kings Sports again look likely to be Rovers' main challengers for the title, and Keith Hammond's men made it 14 goals in two games with a 6-1 drubbing of Agrevo Sports.

James McNulty struck twice, and Justyn Caie, Richard Livingston, Phil Wright and Glen Dimmock also registered for Kings.

It was the away teams who broadly held the upper hand in Division One, with Phil Dee, Steve Atkins and Neil Galloway giving Hemel Hempstead Rovers Reserves a 3-2 win at L'Artista (Scott Nell 2), and Gary Illingsworth struck a treble for Jomarth Builders, who beat Met Police Bushey A (Paul Geary) by the same margin.

A depleted Oxhey Wanderers produced another battling performance and were unlucky to only get a draw against Aldenham.

Oxhey fell behind to a debatable handball awarded against Barnes-Heath but equalised with a goal on his debut from Ross Buckley that flew in off the crossbar.

Honours also ended even in the clash between Top of the World (Richard Beeston) and Croxley Guild A (Craig Harrison).

The only home victors were Rifle Volunteer who defeated Evergreen OB 3-2, with goals from Dave Lumm, Chris Demanski and Eddie Binmindy.

Mike Chapman struck both Maple Cross' goals in their 2-1 win at Kings Sports Reserves (Paul Collingwood pen), and Croxley Guild B saw off Oxhey Reserves by the same scoreline, thanks to Glenister and Parker.

Able more than lived up to his name in front of goal, but that was the only bright spot for Sun Postal Sports A in their 3-1 home reverse at the hands of Tring Athletic A.

SOS Athletic beat Grovehill Rangers by the odd goal in five, and Potten End ran out easy 5-0 winners at Red Lion Rovers.

In Division Three Aaron White's five-goal showing single handedly fired Kings Langley A to a 5-1 victory over Graseby, Shaun Ward (2) and James Hazelton handed Bovingdon a 3-0 win over neighbours Chipperfield Corinthians A, Coach and Horses beat Oxhey Jets B by the same scoreline with goals from the in-form Andy Gregory, Roger Jackson and Jon Phang and L'Artista Reserves edged out Tring Athletic B 2-1.
