UCL Division One: ON CHENECKS 0-2 EYNESBURY ROVERS
UNBEATEN Eynesbury Rovers clocked up another win and leapt to the top of the table by completing a double over ON Chenecks.
David Fisk slotted home to get Rovers on their way after 19 minutes, and Ian Dawkes added the second just before the hour mark.
Manager Matt Plumb urged his team to keep their expectations in check despite their strong start.
He said: "I'm happy with the squad I've got together here, but the next month will be the real test for us. We have some tough games coming up over the next few weeks, and we will know where we stand after we've come through them.
Rovers started confidently on Saturday, sending early chances wide, before Justin McKenzie passed up a chance to put Chenecks ahead.
