RICHIE Claydon scored twice in the first ten minutes to set up Letcombe’s 3-1 victory at home to New College Academy in Division 1 West of the Uhlsport Hellenic League.
After turning home Owen Shaw’s cross after two minutes, Claydon volleyed in his second and could have completed a rapid hat-trick, but his header went just wide.
The hosts made it 3-0 in the 63rd minute, when Gavin Jones netted with a quickly-taken free-kick, after obtaining permission from the referee.
New College reduced the arrears three minutes later, Tyler Wilkinson driving a loose ball into the top corner, but Letcombe held on to secure the three points.
