Leiston and Wingate & Finchley both maintained their unbeaten starts to the Ryman League's Premier Division on Tuesday night, writes Pitchero's Steve Whitney.

Leiston won 2-0 at the Queen Elizabeth II Stadium against Enfield Town with goals from Joe Jefford after 23 minutes and Leon Ottley-Gooch three minutes after half-time.

Wingate were 3-1 victors at Bloomfields against newly-promoted Needham Market, despite ending the game with ten-men.

Billy Healey gave the visitors a 12th minute lead that Karl Oliyide doubled eight minutes later. Chris Hogg reduced the deficit on 34 minutes but Tommy Tejan-Sie`s third on 50 minutes ensured Market remain winless, despite Michael Buckley`s red card six minutes from time.

Metropolitan Police and Tonbridge Angels were the evening`s other two winners.

The Met`s second win of the season to date came at Imber Court against Bognor Regis Town, courtesy of a 52nd minute Ryan Case effort.

Angels made it three wins from five games at Longmead against promoted Brentwood Town.

It was goalless at the break but once Tom Phipp broke the deadlock to give the home side the lead just past the hour-mark, the floodgates opened. Luke Blewden added a second five minutes later and then Tommy Whitnell made it 3-0 on 72 minutes with Blewden scoring his second two minutes from time.

The game between Billericay Town and promoted Merstham ended all-square at 1-1,l Onomo Sodje giving the Essex hosts a 16th minute lead that Taurean Roberts cancelled out on the half-hour mark for the Moatsiders.
