Goals galore in two Salop Leisure League games that survive the weather

Only two matches survived a wet weekend in the Salop Leisure League - but neither were short of goals.

There were 10 in total in the Division One clash between Ercall Evolution and Telford Town Development at Oakengates Leisure Centre.

Logan Whittaker hit a hat-trick for 7-3 victors Telford, with Adel Nuhu  bagging a brace, and Al Sileye Soumare and Turell Clayton netting one each.

Rayyan Ismail was also in fine goalscoring form for the hosts, but his hat-trick was all Ercall Evolution had to cheer about as Telford moved up to fifth in the table.

The other match that beat the weather - played on the 3G pitch at Telford Snowboard & Ski Centre - saw Ercall Aces win 4-1 at Ercall Colts to leave the division's bottom three somewhat cut adrift.

Brogan Hughes, Owen Pitts, Amar Sahota and Abdul Samed Tanko Salifu were on target for the fourth-bottom Aces, who are now at least six points clear of the teams below them.

This coming weekend, leaders Church Stretton Town will be expecting to extend their 11-match unbeaten start to the season when they host struggling Prees United.

Wrockwardine Wood - who visit fourth-bottom Wem Town - and FC Nations - who host mid-table Shifnal Town 1964 - will be waiting to capitalise on any slip-up.

And unbeaten Division One table-toppers Ercall Rangers face a tough test at home to third-placed Brown Clee.
