WEEK 27 REVIEW: Round-up of all the Corinthian League action from the weekend

SENIOR DIVISION CUP

In a repeat line-up of last season's final, holders Hatch Lane were in action against Flyhouse Athletic in Sunday's quarter-final. This time around it was Flyhouse Athletic who came out on the winning side, edging a seven-goal thriller 4-3 to take their place in the semi-finals, setting up a clash against Baiteze Squad in the last four.

SENIOR DIVISION

Just the olne game survived the elements in the Senior Division and it saw East Way Athletic secure some valuable points, beating Baiteze Squad in a 2-1 scoreline to move above their opponents in the standings. Nathan Douglas and Temi Babalola were the scorers for the visitors, earning themselves a fifth win of the season and moving third in the process.

DIVISION ONE

There were two high-scoring games in Division One beginning with a remarkable 12-0 win for the league leaders, Theydon Green, who saw off the threat of second placed Roose to take a massive three points. Luke Dimond's scored a precious hat-trick, Harry Carter and Sam May-Parrott both netted two, the other goals arriving from Joseph Jessop, Josh Steele, Max Jessop and Joe Bricknell.

And there was a double figures tally for now fourth placed FC Galaxy who made their move up the table with a comprehensive 10-1 win against bottom of the table Royal Lions A. Luchian Grigore came off the bench to net a hat-trick, there were a trio of braces from Mihalache Dumitru, Mihai Mareniuc and Alexandru Saru, Fredy Dumitru netting the other.

DIVISION TWO

A full fixture list was achieved in Division Two with AC Milano making their move into top spot in the table with an eleventh league success of the season, defeating East London Harriers 6-1 in South Ockendon. Mohamed Kidia struck twice, Hashim Hussain, Warren Kayembe, Melanijus Butkus and Ronaldo Dariri goals completing the win with seven games still to go.

There was a thriller of a game at Abridge Village as they were up against a Newbury Forest side who started the day seven points adrift of their opponents. But they were able to cut that to just four points, beating Abridge 6-5 with a goal apiece from Mohamed Miah, Sean Downie, Lloyd Ross, Brady Jones, Harry Glenister and Daniel Ross.

Victory was also in the air for Cloud 9 who ensured they stayed in the top four with a home success against Higham Hill in Collier Row. The hosts were 4-1 winners on the day, their eighth league win of the season and were indebted to braces from both Ryan Costello and Jake Griffin for ensure they walked away with all three points.

Over in Hainault, cup semi-finalists Leytonstone Athletic, were in home action with the visit of Inside Success to IG6, Athletic starting the day eleven points ahead of their opponents. And by full-time, they had extended that to fourteen points, goals from Pat Ambrose, Harry Burton, Kai Dobson, Ben Jones and Bradley O'Donovan making it a 5-2 win.

DIVISION THREE

In Division Three, the form of Valence United has been notable since the turn of the year and they warmed up for their long awaited county cup semi-final with a home victory, taking all three points home with them in a 6-0 scoreline against Singh Sabha Barking, leaping above their opponents into second. Rowan Newland (2), Aaron Legget, Michael O'Brien and Charlie Surridge were all on target.

DIVISION FIVE CUP

The first of two completed cup semi-finals saw a real cupset as seventh placed Lonsdale overturned a four league place deficit to beat Ultimate Vision Reserves 4-2 in their Division Five Cup clash, coming out of the blocks fastest to stun their opposition. Marino Leci struck twice, Kalium Fletcher and Emanuel Ntoi scoring the others, setting up a date at Aveley in a few weeks time.

DIVISION FIVE

Royal Lions B have done as much as they can now do to affect the destination of the league title in Division Five though things are now out of their hands, their final league game of the campaign seeing them earn a 2-0 win at home against Titans United. Tyler Adams-Sinclair and Brandon Fulton scored the goals to move them level on points with Royals at the top, though the leaders have three games left to take the single point they now need.

DIVISION SIX CUP

Sunday's Division Six Cup semi-final showed how anything is possible in the cup and, for second bottom Ping City Phoenixes, they will have their day on the biggest stage, shocking the league leaders Epping Royals in a 3-1 scoreline at Stonards Hill to go through. Luey Young, Jack Flood and Matthew Fyfe all netted for Ping, Fraser McCarthy scoring Royals' only goal in consolation.

DIVISION SIX

In Hainault, fourth placed Royal Lions C and Epping Forest Falcons were the sides in action, the Lions holding a three points advantage over Falcons going into that fixture on Sunday. The two sides battled their way to a 2-2 draw by full-time, taking a share of the spoils. That point was enough to see Falcons hold onto their sixth position.
