Essex Senior/Thurlow Nunn One South Review - Tuesday 13th September 2022


 (Action from Redbridge's 2-1 win over Enfield in the Essex Senior League, thanks to Scott W (@ScottMHC14) for the photo)

It was another bumper night of local football across the two divisions, three county cup ties, four ESL games and two EaSL encounters, let's see how they all unfolded.....

BBC Essex Senior Cup Preliminary Round

Coggeshall United 2 White Ensign 2 (Coggeshall United won 4-3 on penalties)

The Weavers caused a surprise after the Thurlow Nunn Division One South side knocked out Essex Senior League visitors White Ensign to set up an away trip to Romford in the next round. A penalty put the hosts ahead before a quick double strike from the visitors with Luc Harpon and Teddy Rumsey scoring looked to be enough for the visitors to progress, but the hosts levelled in stoppage time before winning the shoot out to progress.


Halstead Town 1 Burnham Rambers 3

Ramblers caused a surprise after the Thurlow Nunn Division One South visitors came from behind to defeat Essex Senior Halstead Town, setting up a home tie with Southend Manor in the next round. The Hunbugs grabbed a 14th minute lead after an Alfie Cleal free kick was blocked but the lose ball fell to Matt Travell who finished well, but the visitors levelled just before the half hour mark when Adeyemi squared for Perkins-Palmer who took it past Cherry and slotted home. And seven minutes after the break Ramblers were in front after Perkins-Palmer netted his second of the game, firing past Cherry, before they sealed their passage into the next round when Adeyemi netted right at the death.


Little Oakley 3 May & Baker 4

Bakers stunned Oakley and caused a surprise after the Thurlow Nunn Division One South side knocked out Essex Senior League opposition after a seven goal contest, setting up a hoem tie against either Benfleet or Stanway Pegasus. It looked like a routine win for the hosts when Dan Rowe and Greg Rodger had them two goals up in half an hour. but a deflected Shaun Omogbai effort and a Jayden Silcott Brown penalty pulled the visitors level at the break. The sides traded goals in the second period, El Johnson netting for the hosts and Idris Aminu for the visitors, before a 91st minute winner from Omogbai, his second of the night, won it for Bakers.


Essex Senior League

Redbridge 2 Enfield 1

The Motormen are now level on points with leaders Little Oakley at the top of the division after they ended Enfield's 100% start to the season at Oakside. The hosts took the lead in the 13th minute as after Okoye was brought down inside the box, Tony Martin stepped up to fire home the spot kick, and it was two on the half hour when a superb ball in by Josh Olukolu found Martin who poked home. That lead was halved though five minutes later as Enfield managed to respond after Tyler Corlett headed home a corner at the far post, but despite putting the hosts under immense pressure, could not find a leveller and it saw the hosts earn a hard fought win.

Sawbridgeworth Town 0 Ilford 3

Ilford got back to winning ways and are up to eighth after victory at Crofters against Sawbo, Brandon Wood put the visitors ahead right on half time before Jake Chadwick headed home with just over twenty minutes remaining to double the Foxes advantage. And Josh Boxall finished off a great move to seal Ilford's win and the points, putting a spanner in the works of what had been a decent start to the seasor for the home side who remain third.


Southend Manor 0 Stanway Rovers 1

Ernest Okoh's second half strike proved enough for Stanway Rovers to take all three points at Southchurch Park against a Manor side who saw their keeper sent off with half an hour to go, meaning outfielder Mitchell Arthur had to take over in goal, but despite battling till the end the hosts slumped to a fourth straight defeat as they remain bottom, Rovers are up to ninth after their second win of the campaign.


Stansted 4 FC Clacton 3

The Airportmen finally got their first league win of the campaign after they came out on top in a seven goal thriller at Hargrave Park. It did not look good for the hosts after the Seasiders lead 2-0 at the break, taking the lead in the 19th minute when Jake Clowsley netted from inside the box, and immediately doubled their lead after Reuben Cowler crossed for Jack Marshall to convert, but the hosts were to hit a purple patch in the second period, netting three times in six minutes to turn the match on it's head. Ashaan Siddik pulled one back in the 56th minute before Temi Oladejo netted a leveller on the hour mark, and just two minutes after that a superb goal from Michael Mignot handed the hosts the lead, and when Jack Mitchell added a fourth with fifteen minutes remaining, the points were pretty much in the bag.  Billy Wales did manage to bundle home from close range in stoppage time, but it was not enough to prevent defeat for the visitors.


Let's see what that does to the ESL table shall we.....

Thurlow Nunn First Division South

Enfield Borough 2 Wormley Rovers 3

Rovers are up to eighth after a third league win of the season, coming from behind to defeat Enfield Borough at Wingate & Finchley. Mason Oaklee's flick header from a corner gave Rovers the lead, but two quick fire goals from Georgi Steed, the second a penalty, saw the hosts ahead, however, great build up play and a decent finish from Dan Bolden brought Rovers level, and the visitors netted the winner after the keeper had spilled an effort to take all three points.


St Margaretsbury 3 Newbury Forest 1

Hosts St Mags netted their second win of the season to move into 13th after they saw off Newbury Forest at The Rec. Goals from Jason Brown and Arter Gerson had the hosts two goals to the good, before Forest pulled one back before the break to half the deficit, but that lead was back to two goals again when Alfie Campbell added a third for the hosts, and although Isaac Evans was shown a second yellow for the home side late on, it didn't affect the outcome as St Mags took the spoils.
