Mick Clarke and Darrell Clark have enjoyed a dream start to their Houghton & Wyton reign.
The local side have stormed to three consecutive victories in Division 1B of the Cambridgeshire County League.
The latest of those successes arrived last Saturday when an Adam Naylor hat-trick inspired a 6-2 win at Swavesey Institute.
Lloyd Howard also struck twice for the early pacesetters with former Huntingdon United chief Lee Milton being the other scorer.
Brampton have won both outings so far at that level with Harry Cotton, Omar Marsh and Ellis Ogle finding the net in a 3-0 victory against Ely City 'A' last Saturday.
Two local clubs can be found in the top three in Kershaw Senior B Division.
Eaton Socon Reserves maintained top spot with a 4-1 victory against Great Chishill which featured a brace from Alan Moore. Callan Irvine and Ollie Vale also struck.
