Manor visited Enfield last night hoping to put in a performance after two heavy defeats. But with 14 players unavailable due to injuries/work commitments it was going to be tough. It didn't start well either as on 4 minutes the home side took the lead as from a corner Kizzi ghosted in unmarked and his powerful header goalwards was only helped into the net by Priddle for a 1-0 lead. Four minutes later and it was 2-0 as John Bricknell got in behind the Manor backline and finished comfortably past Priddle. Manor's inability to defend set pieces was alarming and from another corner it was 3-0 on 14 minutes when after a block on the line Sykes was on hand to smash the rebound over the line. It was 4-0 on 22 minutes when a free kick hit the bar and flew high into the air and no one in the Manor line were quick enough to react to the ball and it was headed in by Haywood. Enfield kept on coming and it seemed a cricket score would ensue but after this Manor began to dig in and try and make it difficult for their opponents. The second half was mainly played in the Manor half but a combination of poor passing/finishing and Manor in vigor the score line stayed at 4-0, that was until 74 minutes when Enfield won a free kick about 25 yards out and this was brilliantly struck in by Joe Bricknell to make it 5-0. Manor continued to try and play though and fashioned a couple of chances near the end for themselves but sadly they couldn't take one of these which would of at least ended the game on a brighter note.
