Tuesday's Ryman Premier action review

By David Watters

Ryman League Premier Division

Grays Athletic snatched a late 3-1 win against Wingate & Finchley to maintain their 100 per cent winning start in the Ryman Premier on Tuesday night, writes Pitchero's Steve Whitney.

Grays took the lead when Joao Carlos scored after 28 minutes before the home side hit back midway through the second half on 68 minutes when Ahmet Rifat equalised. It took late goals from Junior Baker on 85 minutes and another from Carlos in stoppage time to take Blues back to the top of the table.

Dulwich Hamlet, Kingstonian, Maidstone United and Lewes all remain unbeaten.

Dulwich comprehensively beat Cray Wanderers 4-0 at Champion Hill. Ellis Green on 12 minutes and Erhun Oztumer a minute before the break, gave the hosts a two-goal interval lead that Harry Ottaway on 66 minutes and Oztumer again five minutes later, added to.

Kingstonian shared a goalless draw at Earlsmead against Harrow Borough while Maidstone United beat relegated Billericay Town. Orlando Smith got the Stones off to a perfect start with a goal in the first minute before Arthur Lee equalised in the 21st minute. Frannie Collin secured the points with his winner on 56 minutes.

East Thurrock United lost their match at Rookery Hill against Lewes, the Rooks maintaining their unbeaten record with goals from Jack Dixon on 27 minutes and Ade Olorunda four minutes before full time.

Tuesday night's results mean evey club now has at least one point on the board.

Thamesmead Town broke their duck with a 0-0 home draw with Metropolitan Police as did Canvey Island at home to Lowestoft Town in another goalless encounter. Relegated AFC Hornchurch and Bury Town were involved in yet another 0-0 draw at Bridge Road.

Carshalton Athletic are up and running after winning 4-2 at Nyewood Lane against Bognor Regis Town, despite falling behind to an 18th minute Craig Robson goal. Julian Owusu equalised within a minute only for Robson to restore the Rocks lead seven minutes later.

But goals in the final 11 minutes from Carshalton's Steve Butterworth, Harry Odenetey and Tommy Bradford turned the game in the Robins' favour.

Elsewhere, a Stuart Boardley goal on the hour mark earned Leiston victory over Hendon in Suffolk while Wealdstone won comfortably against Hampton & Richmond Borough, securing a 3-0 win at the Beaveree with a Sean Cronin penalty just before half-time, a Tommy Brewer own goal on 72 minutes and a Peter Dean strike two minutes before the end.

At the Queen Elizabeth II Stadium Liam Hope gave Enfield Town a 29th minute lead over Margate before Zac Attwood pulled the Kent side back on level terms 11 minutes after the break to eventually see the spoils shared.
