A FIRST-half goal feast left Gosport Borough dining out with reigning champions Winchester City at the head of the Wessex League table.
Goal-hungry Gosport struck five times in the opening 37 minutes as they pummelled Portland 5-0 at Privett Park to maintain their impressive 100 per cent start to the new campaign.
"It was a 45-minute performance by us today," said Gosport assistant Gary Lee. "We were absolutely first-class in the first half, but the second half was disappointing overall - although it's not easy to keep going when you're already 5-0 up on a hot afternoon."
Busy Boro were 3-0 up in 12 minutes. Neil Scammell headed in Ian Dyer's free kick after six, John Cripps crashed in their second four minutes later before Darren Robson netted from the spot after a foul on Scammell.
An opportunist effort by Graham Lindsay on the half-hour made it four before the goal of the game by Stuart Hensman following great work by Scammell and Lindsay.
