Republic of Chineham stay top of Sunday League after win
1:00pm Saturday 29th September 2012 in Hampshire Sport By Tony Spencer
REPUBLIC of Chineham retained their place at the top of Basingstoke and District Sunday League Division One by romping to a 7-1 victory at home to Basingstoke Saints.
Chineham started slowly, leading by just a single goal at the end of a first half played in the pouring rain, but Saints lost a player through injury and the hosts opened the floodgates.
Substitute Ryan Stephens topped the scoresheet with four goals, including a penalty, Ross Cooper netted a goal in each half and Jack Peckham also scored for Republic. Sean McKenna attempted to stem the tide with a consolation for Saints.
