There seems to be no stopping Odd Down at the moment.

The Bath side picked up their third successive victory – giving them nine points from nine in March – when they overcame Hengrove Athletic 2-0 at the Lew Hill Memorial Ground on Saturday 14th March.
The win over the struggling Grove meant the Down extended their unbeaten run in the Jewson Western League to five matches.
Their only defeat since their long lay-off – mainly due to the weather – early in the year came on Saturday 21st February, when they were beaten 3-0 at home by Longwell Green Sports.
After that, Odd Down recorded two draws before triumphing against Cheddar, Shirehampton and now Hengrove, the most recent success being their 10th of the Division One campaign.
And the Down have lost only once in eight league matches, a superb record.
Both goals in the win over basement side Hengrove came in the second half, courtesy of Odd Down man of the match Charlie Saunders.
He put the hosts ahead in the 68th minute and doubled the advantage in injury-time, the result cementing their 13th place in the table.
