ARDLEY United hit four goals for the second week running as they downed title contenders Brimscombe & Thrupp.
The 4-2 home success in the Uhlsport Hellenic League Premier Division avenged a 6-4 defeat at the Gloucester club in September.
Fresh from netting a double in the 4-0 win at Longlevens a week earlier, Troy Bryan opened the scoring early on.
Tobias London continued his good form by doubling the lead in style before the break.
Ollie Pitt pulled a goal back for the visitors midway through the second half, but Deon Gallacher restored the two-goal cushion.
After Kyle Pitts was sent off for Brimscombe, Conor Harris had the points sewn up with a terrific free-kick, before Jake Parrot’s late consolation.
Craig Adey’s side have the chance to take on another high-flying side this Saturday, when they visit Royal Wootton Bassett Town.
