The FA Vase Second Qualifying Round got underway on Friday, and there were four sides involved from the Essex Senior League and Thurlow Nunn First Division South, so lets see how they got on.....
Cannons Wood 1 Potton United 2
Parkside was the scene for a rather dramatic ending as Cannons Wood suffered stoppage time heart break to exit the FA Vase for this campaign. They were up against a side a level above them but were given a great opportunity when Ansah was sent off for visitors for a second yellow on the half hour mark, meaning the visitors would have to play at least two thirds of the contest a man light. However, in the 75th minute Potton took the lead after James Smith tapped home, but when the hosts levelled in the 90th minute you thought penalties would be needed to decided this one. Oh no, as in the 99th minute Victor Osobu's spot kick won it for the visitors to send them through to the next round.
Coggeshall Town 1 Ilford 0
The Seedgrowers put their difficult start to their league campaign to one side as they continued their 100% record in the Vase this season, as after knocking out St Margaretsbury at home in the previous round, a penalty mid way through the first period following a high foot in the box proved enough for them to see off Ilford and claim a rare clean sheet to progress through to the First Round Proper of the competition.
Woodford Town 6 Enfield Borough 0
This was always going to prove a tough test for Thurlow Nunn South side Enfield Borough, up against one of the front runners in the Essex Senior League this season, and it proved to be the case as the hosts netted six to record their biggest win in the competition. Nathan Sollosi handed the hosts a 20th minute lead after he was released in behind on the right hand side before finding the bottom corner exquisitely, and he made it two ten minutes later as after Alexandru Bolovan had breezed past the Enfield Borough midfield, he played a perfect pass to Sollosi, who dinked it over the keeper. Kahlil Kirwan-Meade then added a third eleven minutes into the second period before a fantastic ball over the top to substitute Oscar Onuorah saw him pass it around the onrushing goalkeeper and into the corner with fifteen minutes to go. And there were still time for two more goals to come, both in stoppage time, firstly adding a fifth when the hosts broke in behind before the ball was squared to Onuorah, who smashed home from seven yards, making it a brace off the bench, and then a sixth goal capped a fine evening for the ESL league leaders in the 94th minute to see them cruise into the next round.
