K's stunned as Thurrock hit the goal trail

The result by no means flattered Mark Stimson’s men, who might well have added to their score after Ben Smith netted their fourth soon after half-time.

Luke Wanadio put them ahead in the seventh minute, debutant Jack Paxman made it 2-0 on 27 minutes and the outstanding Harry Honesty dealt a further blow to K’s right on half-time.

Hendon scored their first away goals of the season: three of them, in fact. Alas for them, they let in six at Enfield Town and slipped to the foot of the table.

A drab first half gave no hint of what lay in store, though Liam Hope’s header gave Enfield the lead moments before the break. By the tenth minute of the second half it was 3-1. Jack Mazzone equalised only for Michael Bardle and Tyler Campbell to put Enfield in command.

Hope made sure of the points in the space of four minutes midway through the half with a penalty and another header to complete his hat-trick. Then came an exchange of own goals, with Mark Kirby gifting Hendon their second and Scott Cousins returning the favour. Belal Aite-Ouakrim netted Hendon’s third in added time, his 50th goal for the club in his 150th game.

Leiston are finding it hard going in their first Premier season and they joined Hendon in the relegation zone after a 5-1 thrashing at table-topping Whitehawk left them still seeking their first away points.

James Fraser opened the scoring after three minutes and Jed Wallace nabbed the second 11 minutes later. Sheridan Driver pulled one back in the 36th minute but the impressive Wallace struck again just before the interval and completed his hat-trick in the 74th minute. That was swiftly followed by Hawks’ fifth, from Danny Mills.

Margate took over second place with a 3-1 home win over Bury, who took a third-minute lead through Sam Nunn and held it until five minutes after the break, when Tommy Whitnell headed the equaliser. A Dan Stubbs penalty put Margate ahead after 74 minutes and Richard Avery’s header wrapped it up before a late red card for Carl Rook took some of the gloss off the victory.

Wealdstone stepped up to third by beating Carshalton 3-0, ensuring that they will go a full year without losing at home. Their last reverse at Grosvenor Vale was on November 19, 2011, when they went down 2-1 to Canvey. Richard Jolly set up the opener for Tom Pett in the 27th minute and scored the second himself just before the interval. Shabazz Baidoo wrapped it up with ten minutes left.

Hampton forfeited their unbeaten home record and dropped two places to fourth as they went down 3-1 to Cray, who have yet to lose away. Leigh Bremner pounced for the first goal in the 14th minute when Jack Clark’s free-kick was parried.

Charlie Moone levelled the scores on the half-hour but a Paul Vines header restored Cray’s lead before the break and another header from Aaron Day (whose delight is pictured by Simon Roe) completed the scoring in the 65th minute.

Bognor are also unbeaten on the road and they moved into the play-off places with a 2-1 success at Lowestoft. James Crane’s chip put them ahead in the 39th minute and Steve Harper added another shortly after the interval. Dale Cockrill pulled one back from the spot after a foul on Chris Henderson with 20 minutes left but there was no escape for the Trawlerboys.

It has been quite a week at Concord, who followed up last Saturday’s 6-3 win over Carshalton by thumping Met Police 5-1. With an 8-2 Senior Cup victory in midweek, lucky fans at Thames Road have seen 25 goals in eight days. Tony Stokes led the way with a hat-trick, becoming the first player in the Premier to reach ten league goals.

Met Police actually went ahead with a seventh-minute header from Jonte Smith, his 19th in league and FA competitions. The unstoppable Stokes replied in the 10th minute and then set up goals for Jerome Walker and Danny Spendlove either side of half-time as the Beachboys took command. Stokes nabbed his second on the hour and completed his treble shortly afterwards with a stunning long-range overhead kick, Ibrahimovic-style.

It was all square at Lewes, for whom Karl Beckford hit a post in the first half. Harrow went ahead when Simeon Akinola punished a short back-pass five minutes after the interval but Anthtony Thomas replied immediately with an intended cross that was misjudged by visiting keeper Elvijs Putnins. Harrow had James Burgess sent off with 12 minutes left but the Rooks could not profit and it finished 1-1.

A third-minute goal by Kye Ruel was enough to give East Thurrock a well-deserved 1-0 win at Wingate, though veteran striker Rocky Baptiste muffed a simple late chance to level the scores.

There were no goals at all at Hastings, where Canvey had the upper hand and Rob King came closest to breaking the deadlock.
