Division One
Either Division One leaders Snaresbrook had a bad day at the office, or else FC Hamlets had a particularly good one as they went on to show the leaders no respect and beat them 5-1. Charlie Heatly, Ishmael Carter, Farron Smith, Ashley King and Tyler Sanago-Ishmael provided the FC Hamlets goals, with Tyriquee Solomon notching the Snaresbrook consolation. Snaresbrook remain top despite this result. Late goals from Ronnie Hobbrough and Sam Lock saw Shenfield AFC overcome Ongar Town 2-1. The hosts scored via Sean Green and held that lead until the 91st minute when Shenfield equalised and then three minutes later took all the spoils and so end the day up in third. Rayleigh Town Res. and Frenford Res. shared a point after their game ended in a 2-2 draw.
Division Two
Rochford Town were big winners on Saturday as they beat May & Baker E.C. ‘A’ 12-0. David Watson lead the charge with four goals; Ashley Fowles bagged a hat-trick; with goals apiece for Daniel Bathurst, Grant Lyle, Christopher Haycock, Jake Lunn and Tyler Fowles. Lakeside also had a goal spree as they handed Upminster a 7-0 defeat. Luke Quinton bagged five of the goals with Harry Hearn and Drew Klessa-Smith also chipping in. A David Major hat-trick helped Toby beat Ryan, with Des Gallen the other Toby marksman in the 4-0 victory. Harold Wood Athletic Res. meanwhile came away from Newham United with all the points after Perry Robinson, Paul Virdi and Chris Pope bagged goals in the 3-2 win.
Division Three
Westhamians bagged all the points thanks to Max Holt whose all-important goal saw the Division Three leaders beat Hutton Res. 1-0. Leigh Town are second after a 6-2 win over White Ensign Res, who scored their goals via Adam Skinner and Efrem Nuguse. Laindon Orient are third after a 9-2 victory over Basildon Town Res. Henry Ballard scored a hat-trick; Samuel Lake notched twice; Jasper Read, Tom Read, Adam Cole and Michael Bottone also put their names down on the score sheet. Roydon came from behind before taking all the spoils at Wakering Sports. The hosts were leading 2-0 due to Ryan Curtis and Aaron Marshall finding the target. Micky Copping pulled one back from a penalty and then Roydon were on level terms thanks to Ezra Folan. Nader Benzid then capped a fine performance by firing home the winner ten minutes from time.
