BEAMINSTER FC continued their impressive start to the season as both the first team and reserves recorded victories to maintain their unbeaten records.
The Rainbows' first team made it three wins from three in Dorset Division Two with an emphatic 6-2 success away at Blandford United Reserves on Saturday.
Robin Jones opened the scoring before Rhys Hughes-Williams doubled Beaminster's advantage.
The visitors then took control after the break thanks to a clinical display from Josh Baker, who struck a second-half hat-trick, while Fin Dolan also got on the scoresheet to complete the six-goal haul.
Owain Davis was named first-team man of the match following an influential performance.
The victory means the Rainbows sit on nine points from their opening three league matches as they continue their push at the top end of the table.
It was also a memorable weekend for Beaminster's reserve side, who secured a hard-fought 1-0 victory over Wool United Firsts.
Harry Reeder scored the only goal of the game during the second half to keep the reserves' 100 per cent start intact following their promotion last season.
Veteran Craig Dabinett earned the man-of-the-match award for the hosts after a commanding display, while supporters were also delighted to see club legend Murray Legg return to action.
Legg, a popular figure at the club, pulled on a Beaminster shirt again after spending recent years managing Bridport Reserves and was welcomed back by teammates and supporters alike.
The wins continue an encouraging start to the campaign for a club that recently unveiled its first-team and reserve-team squads for the 2026/27 season.
Captain Richard Runyard leads the senior side alongside manager Aiden Trocian and player-assistant coach Ash Walkey, while the reserves are headed by captain Arlo Castle and manager John Kingston.
Club officials have also thanked local sponsors for helping provide new kit and training wear ahead of the season, with support from OCD Cleaning Services, Phoenix Electrical and Plumbing Services and Blacks Plumbing & Heating.
With nine points from nine for the first team and six points from six for the reserves, the Rainbows are enjoying a dream start to the new campaign and will hope to carry that momentum into the coming weeks.
