DRG Frenchay and their sharpshooting Emiel Aiken can approach Saturday's home encounter with Shaftesbury Crusade (2pm) believing all things are possible on the strength of latest impressive form shown by team and player.

Thomas Vaughan's Premier Division pacesetters are truly looking the part at this time as guests Iron Acton, no mugs either at the level, discovered to their cost.

While Acton, who had won all three of their opening fixtures, fell to a first defeat at the fourth time of asking, despite scoring three times, DRG simply possessed too much firepower of their own, with Aiken sprearheading the success with a second hat-trick in his last three league outings following a treble in the 4-1 away victory over Bradley Stoke Town.

Adam Porter, Lewis Jones and Josh McMurray weighed in with singles as DRG raced to a fourth straight win, 6-3.

Hallen Reserves, with Bristol Barcelona their visitors this Saturday for a tasty top-three tussle at Moorhouse Lane (2pm), are going well too now second in the standings thanks to a 5-1 away victory over Greyfriars Athletic, whose Dylan Chiwetu scored, and points dropped elsewhere by other early-season frontrunners.
