WEEK 30 REVIEW: Round-up of all the Corinthian League action from the weekend

DIVISION ONE

Debden Sports Reserves have moved to into second place with three games to go in Division One, Billy Barr netting the game’s only goal from the spot against UK Moldova to earn Sports a crucial 1-0 win in east London.

That result meant that Repton Park dropped a place into third as they were held to a score draw in their trip to Roose in Hainault. Ayomide Ademokun and Thomas House both struck for Repton with the Roose scoring twice themselves to make it 2-2.

It was mixed fortunes in the double header between Total Football and JK Silvertown with each team taking a win each. Total were 2-0 winners first up in game one before JK reversed their fortunes to secure a 4-1 win in the return game.

DIVISION TWO

FC Galaxy are up into fourth place in the table after taking all three points home with them from east London in a 3-2 win against Daglanta. Andy Morris struck twice for the hosts but Galaxy goals from Botoc Bogdan, Andrei Cazacu and Mihai Cristea saw them take the points.

At Town Mead, Upshire Forest also earned themselves a win to leap up the table, Leighton Hughes-Franklin scoring both of the game’s goals against Singh Sabha Barking to net a 2-0 win, their sixth league success of the campaign.

DIVISION THREE

It’s congratulations to Leytonstone Athletic in Division Three as double header success against South Ilford Catholics saw them take the league title. 3-1 was one of the scorelines, Reece Simpson scoring two and Lee Harris one. It was 3-0 second time around with Lee Harris scoring two and Tylla Addai one.

The chase for promotion goes on with Woodford Town Reserves sharing the spoils in a double header with third placed Colebrook Royals Reserves. Casey Lockhart scored for Town in a 1-0 win first up before edged game two with Calvin Bell and Harley Lewis goals in a 2-1 scoreline, Billy Brown netting in consolation.

Warren Senior remain another side in the race and they took all six points available to them in a double header against United Amateurs. Scott McGlynn and Jack Glenister scored in a 2-1 win first up before Glenister struck again in game two as Warren won that one 2-0.

DIVISION FOUR CUP

East End United’s first season will see them as cup finalists in the Division Four Cup, racking up a big 5-1 semi-final away win against Eastern Avenue to head through. Jevonte Cassar, Joseph Connor, Aiden Jackson, Ryan Mallett and Joseph McEnroe all netted in the game.

DIVISION FIVE

Romford Rovers sit three points clear at the summit with a game to go, earning win number thirteen on Sunday after a 2-1 home victory against Chingford Athletic. Jake Griffin struck for Rovers with Justin Clarke netting for Athletic in the game.

With four games left, Valence United B continue their chase and earned a closely fought 3-2 win against Young Royals on Sunday with Ryan Knight, Charlie Surridge and Enzo Victoriano all on the scoresheet in a cup final dress rehearsal.

Epping Town saw their hopes of promotion tarnished as they were held to a exciting 3-3 draw away at Lonsdale in Dagenham. Matthew Robinson, George Sack and Louie Brownlie all netted for Town but Emanuel Ntoi’s double and a Charlie Owen goal meant the teams shared the spoils.

Fifth placed Debden Sports B kept themselves in touch with the sides above them with three games to go, taking all three points from their home game with FC Mexico. Nicky Bristow and Mihail Cojocari both scored for the visitors but Debden goals flowed as they won it 6-2 at Chigwell Lane.

DIVISION SEVEN

An exhilarating title race goes on in Division Seven with Gatcliffe still a point clear at the top after netting nine in their game against United Amateurs Reserves. Henry Sleight struck for United but that proved just consolation against the league leaders.

Sitting second and with a game in hand, Valence United C picked up a vital win on the road as they returned home from Emerson & Upminster with all three points, 4-0 winners through two Jamie Wooster goals and one each from Jordan Cook and Paul Devlin.
