Bostik Premier Division 
Current Table - Top Eight Only 
POS TEAM P GD PTS
1 TONBRIDGE ANGELS  8 +9 19
2 ENFIELD TOWN  8 +12 16
3 WORTHING  8 +4 15
4 BOGNOR REGIS TOWN  8 +7 14

8 LEWES  7 +2 12

It's all very early days in the Bostik Premier with teams playing seven or eight games of a lengthy forty-six game season. Tonbridge Angels are still top of the table but did suffer their first defeat yesterday at home to Bishops Stortford who were 0-3 up on 60 minutes through goals from Ryan Charles and a brace from former Chalfont St Peter striker Jake Cass. A red card for Johnville Renee brought the visitor's down to 10 men for the final 25 minutes and allowed Tonbridge to pull two goals back to make the final score 2-3. 

Since Adam Flint resigned as boss of the Hertfordshire club they have won two league games and one cup game under caretaker's Steve Smith and Jamie Cureton. 

Pushing them in second spot are free-scoring Enfield Town who won 1-6 convincingly at Corinthian Casuals yesterday with goals from Billy Bricknell (2), Bilal Sayoud, Dan Rumens, Sam Youngs and Sam Chaney. 

Third placed Worthing drew 1-1 at home to Leatherhead with their goal coming in the 89th minute via Callum Kealy.

Jason Prior - 5 goals (Dorking Wanderers) 

In the race for the golden boot it's Bognor's Daniel Smith leading the way who is currently on loan at Nyewood Lane from League One side Portsmouth - the 19 year old is a midfielder and has been with Pompey since he was an under 8 and was a unused substitute a number of times last season at Fratton Park. 

He is closely followed by 22 year old Joel Nouble of Haringey Borough who played for Cacadia in this summer's CONIFA World Cup and Jason Prior, who is now 29, who moved from Havant and Waterlooville to Dorking Wanderers this summer. 

TOP CROWD SO FAR 
1,189 - Worthing v Burgess Hill Town (27/8)

LOWEST CROWD SO FAR 
95 - Wingate and Finchley v Folkestone Invicta (18/8)

At the bottom of the table it's Burgess Hill Town who are still awaiting their first win after eight games played. The have drawn three and lost five of their games so far. They have two tough looking away games at Bognor Regis Town in midweek followed by in-form Bishops Stortford next weekend.
