Buckland Athletic's 100 per cent start to the season and 33-game unbeaten run came crashing down on Tuesday night as they were thrashed 5-1 away at Saltash.

The Ashes' Aaron Cusack and Sam Hughes both got two goals in the victory at Kimberley Park, which lifts their team to 11th in the table.

Buckland remain at the top, but their lead has been cut to two points.
