TROPHYLAND CUP

Manford Way are safely through to the quarter-finals of the Trophyland Cup competition as they recorded a 4-1 away victory in round two over Athletic Newham through strikes from Lloyd Gullefer, Casey Lockhart, Ronan Mcgoldrick and Jacob Richards while Jack Field netted for Newham in reply.

DIVISION ONE

There were six goals in the game at Town Mead where FC Galaxy took home all three points in a 4-2 win over Upshire Forest, overcoming two Reggie Pegrum goals with a brace from Mihai Mareniuc plus goals from Silviu Crucueanu and Sorin Bargaoanu.

DIVISION TWO CUP

It was quarter-final day in the Division Two Cup for two sides as Colebrook Royals Reserves met Warren Senior for a place in the last four. It was Royals who kept their cup hopes alive with a 3-0 success, goals arriving through Jordan Rock, Charlie Ruse and Oscar Simmons.

DIVISION TWO

Back in the league, it was visitors Singh Sabha Barking who left with all three points from their trip to CSM London as goals from Indervir Singh, Samraj Gill, Dylan Boparai and Opeyemi Mogaji helped them win 4-2, despite CSM strikes from Steven Lambert and Leandro Alva.

DIVISION THREE

The biggest winners in Division Three were Euro Stars as they made the journey across to Dagenham to take on Condor Reserves, netting all five goals in a 5-0 Stars win courtesy of an Abbas Osman hat-trick and Hayden Bokanga’s double.

Leaders, Turkmenkoy London, remain top but saw their lead cut following an entertaining 4-4 draw at home against Prospect Protégé. Suat Erdogan scored two, Deren Kale and Mitchell Smith with the others for the hosts while Tom Enever scored two, Joe Ellis and Ethan Kieran one in reply.

That result enabled Byron Red Star to profit and they reduced the deficit at the top to just three points with games in hand on the back of their 2-0 home victory over Stone Town, that being Byron’s eighth league win in nine this term.

Over at Chigwell Lane, Debden Sports Reserves put in a much improved performance to take all three points at home against South Ilford Catholics with Jack Sawdon and Zachariah Appauh goals leading them to a 2-1 success.

DIVISION FOUR

In Division Four, East London Ballers Under 23s and East Park Rovers renewed their rivalry once again, this time in the league, Ballers prevailing 4-0 on this occasion after Mohammed Malik scored two, Enoch Mpita-Mayamba and Oshea Roberts with the other goals.

A five-goal thriller was settled by the odd goal at Hainault Rec where Royal Lions slipped to defeat at home against Eastern Avenue, a 3-2 win for the visitors enough to record a first league win and move level with their opponents in the standings.

DIVISION FIVE

Newbury Drive were in fine form in front of goal, scoring seven in an eventual 7-1 home win over Mansfield Rangers. Drive overcame Jay Kanber’s strike with two Graham Bryan goals plus efforts from Claudius Edwards, Paul Schouwenburg, Billy Happe, Luke Newbury-Neale and Harrison Wright.

There was a seven-goal thriller in the east London derby match between hosts Asianos and Alpha where it took the odd goal to eventually separate the teams, Alpha winning the match 4-3 to ensure they stayed top of the table with an eighth win.

Over at Hainault Rec, London Legacy started the day trailing their hosts, United Amateurs, by three points but ended it level as Mohammed Noor’s double and one from Ewan Cochrane earned them a 3-1 win, rendering Jack Chawner’s strike as consolation.

DIVISION SIX CUP

Chingford Athletic continued their strong form, breezing through their first round tie against Newroe United in a 9-0 scoreline with Darryl Wilson scoring a hat-trick, Bobby Deemer and Kimani McDonald netting braces, Kyle Mavris and Raheem Isaac with the others.

DIVISION SIX

There were plenty of goals in Division Six as Warren United eventually prevailed 5-4 from a nine-goal thriller against Emerson & Upminster with Oliver Regan scoring two, Frank Witcher, Daniel Beresford and Harry Hutchings the others. Carl Holroyd scored two, Harry Pitt and Daniel With one each in reply.

It was just the five goals in the game from Barking Park where Valence United B’s strong start to the year continued with a 4-1 win over Coppice Row as Robert Devlin, Kamal Mahoney, Jordan Cook and Jahsiah Weekes goals overcame a Matheus de Lima effort for Row.

At Old Dagenham Park, it was a big win for hosts Gatcliffe who put previously unbeaten visitors, Legacy City, to the sword in a 4-0 victory. Devante Samuel scored two, Nico Bunduku and Pierre Przezdziecki scoring the others.

DIVISION SEVEN CUP

Barking Colts pulled off a big win to send league leaders, Ace Athletics, out of the competition following a 7-3 win. Akeem Matthews’ hat-trick led the way with Chineyeiho Chidiebere, Arinze Ossai and Emmanuel Fowowe also netting. Jamie Smurthwaite, Joshua Craske and Thomas Mason scored for Ace in reply.

There were lots of goals in the other clash where Romford Bullsharks moved to within ninety minutes of a cup final after beating Rush Green Rangers 6-3. Zachary Bussell’s five goals done the damage, Jack Edwards with the other, while Rhys Barker, Darkwah Saeed and Michael Olaniyan scored for Rangers.

COUNTY CUP

East London Ballers are safely through to their first Essex Sunday Premier Cup semi-final as they produced a winning home performance against Braintree & North Essex League side, Tiptree Jobserve, Ballers winning 3-1.

It was a close game in the other quarter-final involving league clubs and a second half goal from Heath Athletic proved the only one of their clash with Brook Athletic in Orsett Heath, the Thurrock League side 1-0 winners and through to the last four.

CHARITY CUP

In the West Essex Cup, holders AC Milano are through to the semi-finals of the competition once again as they travelled to take on Division One’s JK Silvertown where a couple of Milano goals were enough for the Senior side to progress through, 2-0.
