....Southern League Premier Division South on Bank Holiday Monday.
Tivvy lost the M5 derby at Ladysmead to promoted Taunton Town, whose Matt Wright gave them a 23rd minute lead from the penalty spot.
River Allen sent the hosts into the break all-square when he equalised after 37 minutes.
But second half strikes from Ollie Chamberlain after 58 minutes and Matt Buse 3 minutes into stoppage time sealed the Peacocks win and send them second in the embryonic table.
Merthyr also lost their unbeaten start at home, beaten by a Frome Town side for whom this was a first win after three defeats and a draw from their opening four matches.
It was goalless at Penydarren Park until Ollie Knowles broke the deadlock to put the visitors in front after 65 minutes.
Three minutes later, Harry Baker doubled Frome`s lead, only for Joe Hunt to reduce the deficit within 3 minutes.
The next goal was crucial, and it came from Baker again with less than 2 minutes to go.
And Hendon made it a hat-trick of home losers as they too lost their unbeaten start to neighbours Harrow Borough.
Anthony O`Connor gave Boro a 19th minute lead that Frank Keita doubled just before the break.
Just after it, Lewis Cole made it 3-0 to the visitors, and although Ricardo German pulled one back from the spot on 77 minutes, sub Harry Rush made it 4-1 a minute into stoppage time, rendering German`s second a minute later as just a consolation.
That leaves only Weymouth and Hartley Wintney as unbeaten teams after five games.
The Terras lead the way after a 5-0 derby win at the Bob Lucas Stadium against Dorchester Town.
In front of a terrific crowd of 1,832,
Josh McQuoid (23 & 87) and Ben Thomson (11 & 41) both bagged braces, while Brandon Goodship opened the scoring in the 7th minute with his 8th goal of the season already.
Hartley Wintney had a crowd of just under 500 for their home derby against Farnborough and the points were shared.
Michael Campbell gave the hosts a 10th minute lead that Luke King after 25 minutes and then Brendan Murphy-McVey 6 minutes into the second half turned round.
Campbell`s second 12 minutes from time earned Hartley Wintney a point.
As well as Frome, Kings Langley and Beaconsfield Town both also earned first wins of the new season.
Much-travelled striker Rene Howe`s goal 2 minutes before half-time eventually proved enough for Kings Langley at home to a Chesham United side who have still yet to pick up a point.
And a Louis Stead goal after just 8 minutes saw Beaconsfield to a victory at fancied Staines Town.
A crowd of 918 at The W+S Stadium saw local Dorset bragging rights go comprehensively to visiting Poole Town at Wimborne Town.
Newly returned Jez Bedford gave Poole a 23rd minute lead that Marvin Brookes eventually doubled on the hour-mark.
Richard Gillespie then bagged a brace on 75 and then 3 minutes into stoppage time to complete a comfortable derby win for the Dolphins.
Sam Argent gave Basingstoke Town an early 5th minute lead at the Camrose against Gosport Borough.
Sam Deadfield doubled that lead 20 minutes later, and although Ryan Pennery pulled Boro back into the game just before the break, they were unable to find a leveller.
Walton Casuals, along with Chesham, are the only other side still searching for a first win but did pick up a second point in a 2-2 draw at Metropolitan Police`s Imber Court.
Youseff Bamba gave the visitors a 29th minute lead that Luke Mitchell cancelled out 10 minutes later.
Ollie Knight`s goal 3 minutes into the second period looked like winning it for the Met, until former Reading man James Harper popped up with Casuals` equaliser with 4 minutes to go.
A crowd of 658 at the Raymond McEnhill Stadium saw Salisbury and Swindon Supermarine also share a 2-2 draw.
Conor McDonagh gave `Marine a 15th minute lead that Dan Fitchett cancelled out right on half-time.
Danny Young then gave the Whites the lead 4 minutes into the second period, only for McDonagh`s second 5 minutes later earned the visitors a point.
