Tuesday evening saw several contests take place amongst Essex Senior and Thurlow Nunn South sides in the Leagues and County Cups, lets see what went on shall we.....
Essex Senior Cup 1st Round
Buckhurst Hill 1 Holland 0
ESL hosts Buckhurst Hill netted with nine minutes remaining to settle this contest against Thurlow Nunn North leaders Holland at Roding Lane. A pinpoint delivery found Luke Sackey at the far post to cushion a shot across goal and into the far corner in the 81st minute and set up a 2nd Round home tie against Barking.
FC Clacton 4 Coggeshall Town 2
Two late goals saw FC Clacton settle this all ESL tie at the Rush Green Bowl, the hosts took an 11th minute lead after Teddy Collis picked the ball up twenty five yards from goal before sending a brilliant dipping shot just under the crossbar, but the visitors response was immediate as a free-kick was turned home by Leandro Sain at the near post just three minutes later. It took until the 69th minute for the next goal as The Seasiders edged back ahead after a right flank cross was nodded home by Mekhi McKenzie, but just five minutes after that Coggeshall responded yet again as Jack Zelinski smashed home an unstoppable effort into top left hand corner. The tie looked to be headed for penalties until the hosts got their noses in front for a third time in the 87th minute as a ball cut back to Charlie Collis saw him steer home a neat, low finish, and then two minutes into stoppage time the hosts wrapped up the tie as an angled shot was spilled into the path of Teddy Collis who tapped home at the far post. FC Clacton will now host either Benfleet or Hullbridge Sports in Round Two.
Frenford 1 Barking 2
Barking came from a goal down early on to net victory at The Drive to progress in the Essex Senior Cup, all the goals came in the opening twenty minutes as well and it was Frenford who took an eighth minute lead through Liam Foster, but the visitors then levelled seven minutes later when Kai Haysman slotted past Matt Knight from a Martin Tuohy flick on. And five minutes later Barking netted what proved to be the winner after Gael Kileba drove forward, beats three defenders, before shooting low inside the post into the net, setting up a trip to Buckhurst Hill in Round Two.
Harlow Town 3 Burnham Ramblers 1
Hosts Harlow won the all Thurlow Nunn South contest at The Arena after goals from Ishaq Ameen, Celso Da Silva and Roman Percil were enough to see off Burnham Ramblers and set up a trip to ESL side Stanway Rovers in the 2nd Round of the competition.
Wivenhoe Town 1 Ilford 1 (Ilford won 5-4 on penalties)
The Foxes netted ten minutes into stoppage time before winning a shootout to progress against Thurlow Nunn North Wivenhoe Town at Broad Lane. The hosts took a first half lead after Mike Nwankwo had exchanged passes with Harry Willoughby, broke into the box and fired a powerful effort across the keeper and into the far corner, and that looked likely to be enough to send The Dragons into the next round, however in the 100th minute Dephin Moorat headed home from a corner to equalise, sending the tie to penalties, and the ESL visitors managed to prevail in that to set up a trip to either May & Baker or Takeley in Round Two.
London Senior Cup 1st Round
Haringey Borough 2 Athletic Newham 1
Athletic Newham put on a decent showing at Isthmian Premier Haringey Borough but saw two late goals from the hosts knock them out of the London Senior Cup. The visitors stunned their opponents by taking a 62nd minute lead after Joel Appiah was pushed over in box and Richard Kone, off the bench, scored from the spot, and when the hosts saw Scott Mitchell sent off in the 73rd minute, it looked good for the ESL side. But, the hosts managed to level with ten minutes to go when a cross from left got through Wilkinson Boateng's hands and hit one of the defenders before ending up in the net, and with four minutes left the hosts grabbed the winner when Matthew Young stole in near the penalty spot to fire home and send them through to face either Barking or Leyton Orient at home in the next round.
Essex Senior League
Little Oakley 2 Woodford Town 2
Ten man Little Oakley managed to net a late equaliser to thwart league leaders Woodford at The Memorial Ground, Oakley lead at the break courtesy of Harry Mann's spot kick, however the visitors, who had been held up in traffic getting to the game meaning it kicked off late, fired in off the far post to level, and then things got worse for the hosts when Adrian Cant was shown a second yellow and sent off. Woodford then bundled home to take the lead and it looked like an eighth league win of the season until Oli Hart popped up with a late leveller for the hosts to snatch a point, meaning the hosts remain tenth in the standings and the visitors extend their lead at the top to five despite that late disappointment.
Stanway Rovers 1 Halstead Town 3
The Humbugs are up to seventh as they continued their brilliant start to the season after coming from behind to defeat Stanway Rovers at The Hawthorns. After a goalless opening half the hosts edged in front early in the second period after Andrew Fennell produced a lovely finish into the bottom corner, but the response from the visitors was devastating, levelling three minutes later following a lovely finish from Joel Older who punished an error at the back. Twenty minutes into the half The Humbugs took the lead after Alfie Cleal fired home from close range before Older grabbed his second of the game with twenty minutes to go by firing a lovely free-kick into the bottom right corner. Defeat for the hosts leaves them second from bottom with just five points from nine games.
Thurlow Nunn First Division South
Wormley Rovers 0 Cannons Wood 0
The eagerly anticipated contest between Wormley and Cannons Wood ended goalless although it was far from drama free!!! Both these sides will be hoping to challenge for promotion this season and a decent game was expected, sadly this was not the case as the discipline of both sides got the better of them, especially second half which saw two red cards for the visitors & a sin bin for both sides too, and in fact the visitors had to play the final twenty five minutes with eight men (I assume another red card but don't know this for sure) so a rather eventful second forty five minutes for the wrong reasons, but a point a piece means they stay fifth and third in the table respectively.
Herts Centenary Charity Trophy 1st Round
St Margaretsbury 1 Hoddesdon Town 2
Hoddy set up a trip to Sarratt or Hertford Heath in Round Two of the Herts Centenary Charity Trophy after they netted victory in their all Thurlow Nunn South division contest against St Margaretsbury at The Recreation Ground.
That's completes the action for Tuesday evening, thanks for reading and hope you enjoyed and feel fully informed!!!
