Essex Senior League Round Up (15th/16th September 2020)


(action from Sawbridgeworth Town 3 Woodford Town 2 on Tuesday night at Crofters) 


Tuesday September 15

Cockfosters 8 Clapton 1 (Ryan Wade netted a first half hat-trick as Cockfosters thrashed Clapton at Chalk Lane to make it three wins from three and top the table on goal difference.  Marcus Crowther put the home side ahead on 15 minutes before Wade grabbed his first to double his sides advantage and then it was three on 21 minutes when Reece Mosanya drilled home.  A Price Madu cross was converted by Wade for 4-0 at just 27 minutes, and although The Tons pulled one back through Daniel Emolvon six minutes before the break, Wade completed his hat-trick a minute before half time from the penalty spot to send the hosts in the dressing room 5-1 to the good.  Fosters then added a sixth through Kaidyn Michael with twenty minutes left, bursting through to fire home, and then Ned Clarke added a couple in the final few minutes to complete a brilliant evening for the home side)

 

Hoddesdon Town 1 West Essex 3 (West Essex continued their fine start to the season with another impressive away win, this time at Lowfield against Hoddesdon Town, to make it seven points from nine in the league so far.  The visitors took the lead a minute before the break when a shot from Brad Russell was parried by Liam Nugent and Michael Mignot was on hand to poke home, and they doubled that lead when Callum Bloss fired home a free kick.  Hoddy managed to pull one back with fifteen minutes remaining when a handball inside the box gave the home side a spot kick which Jack Gibbs converted, but West sealed the points with six to go after a mix up between Ollie Sharman and Nugent ended up with the former heading beyond his keeper who had come out and see the ball roll into the net)

 

Redbridge 2 Sporting Bengal United 3 (The Motormen snatched defeat from the jaws of victory after letting a two-goal lead slip to lose to two injury time strikes against Sporting Bengal United at Oakside.  The hosts lead 1-0 at the break after James Barlow’s powerful header and they looked sure to be heading to their first win of the season when substitute Amoafu, who had only just come on, doubled their lead after tapping home.  Sporting gave themselves a lifeline when Ramos struck home a wonderful free-kick, but going into stoppage time Redbridge still led, that was until the 91st minute when a needless foul inside the box saw Ramos convert from the spot to draw Sporting level, and then deeper into stoppage time the visitors won it incredibly when a terrible mistake put substitute Viera through and his square ball was nodded home by Ramos for his hat-trick and sealed a dramatic comeback from the Mile End side)

 

Saffron Walden Town 5 St Margaretsbury 0 (Craig Calver netted a hat-trick as Walden grabbed their first win of the season as they thrashed St Margaretsbury at Catons Lane.  Calver netted twice inside the opening twenty minutes before adding another early in the second period after good work from Gavin Cockman had set him up.  Alfie Hilton then made it four in the 90th minute and then the best was saved till last when Dimitri Hatzimouratis netted a thunderbolt three minutes into added on time and seal a big win for the hosts)

 

Sawbridgeworth Town 3 Woodford Town 2 (The Robins have almost equalled their points tally from last season already after making it seven from nine following an entertaining win over Woodford Town at Crofters.  Sawbo grabbed an early lead when Cabham Clarke sent a looping header over the keeper but Woodford responded ten minutes later when Jeremiah Lunera volleyed home unmarked at the far post.  Then came a moment of brilliance from Kieran Amos, sending a long range effort from the left hand touchline over the keeper into the far corner to restore the hosts lead before Conor Clarke emphatically converted a spot kick to send the hosts into the break in command with a two goal cushion.  Woodford though were handed a route back into the contest early in the second period when a poor header back allowed Marcin Painter to nip in and slot home and despite the visitors having Hary Barrett and Jack Newbury-Neme sent off they still looked the likelier to level, but the hosts hung on to record a second win in three leaving Woodford bottom with no points from three games)

 

Takeley 1 Hashtag United 3 (Hashtag United netted two late goals as they came from behind at the break to defeat Takeley at Station Road to maintain their 100% start to their campaign.  The hosts led at the break thanks to a 29th minute goal from Tom Jelliman, tapping home after a George Wappett corner had been poorly dealt with by Tim Pitman, but in the 64th minute Hashtag levelled from the spot through who else but George Smith after Joshua Osude had been fouled inside the box.  And in the 89th minute the visitors went ahead when Smith turned provider to play a great ball into Osude who burst through and rounded Corderoy to slot home, and they sealed the points deep into stoppage time after Osude broke through to slot home, and it means the hosts are still yet to win this season)

 

Walthamstow 2 Southend Manor 3 (Manor made it two wins in a row after their opening day debacle to stun Walthamstow at Wadham Lodge and in turn inflict Stow’s second straight defeat at home in the process.  Manor grabbed the lead after fifteen minutes through Luka Frankis but Stow levelled five minutes before half time after Clements headed home a Connor Scully cross to see the sides go into the break all square.  Stow then took the lead three minutes after the break when a superb cross from Crowley found James Hammond who headed home, but Manor showed immense character to fight back in this one and levelled just before the hour mark after Charlie Mann had missed a cross and saw the ball tapped home by Frankis before winning it with twenty five minutes remaining after Darnell Bromfield dispatched a penalty kick and hand Manor a terrific three points)

 

Wednesday September 16

Enfield 0 Stansted 1 (The Airportmen made it seven points from a possible nine after a narrow win at Woodside Park against Enfield.  The only goal of the game came midway through the first half when a Billy Coyne free kick was spilt by keeper Jack Wilmot, allowing Ryan Ramsay to tap home the loose ball, and it saw the visitors to a second win in three and means Enfield are still without a win after three league games)
