Wednesday's Ryman Premier action review

By David Watters

Ryman League Premier Division

Enfield Town's run of four successive wins in the Ryman League's Premier Division came to an end on Wednesday night at the Dripping Pan against Lewes.

The 2-1 win lifts the Rooks to seven points clear of the drop zone, while Town stay in fifth, a point above sixth-placed Leiston.

The home side took a 10th minute lead when Jack Rowe-Hurst beat Towners keeper Nathan McDonald from an acute angle. But the visitors were back on level terms on the half-hour mark when Aryan Tajbakhsh fired home from the edge of the area.

However, it was the Rooks who won it after a mix-up in the Enfield defence led to new loanee Emmett O`Connor netting on his debut.

Wednesday's other game saw Grays Athletic make it eight games unbeaten and increase Tonbridge Angels' relegation fears with a 3-1 Mill Field victory.

Harry Agombar gave the Essex side a 13th minute lead that Dumebi Dumaka increased after 35 minutes.

Grays were dealt a blow five minutes before the break when they had Jordan Wilson shown a straight red card following a high challenge on Jack Parter. However, just two minutes later the ten-men made it 3-0 with a second for Dumaka.

Angels managed a consolation 10 minutes from time through the returning Billy Medlock but it was too little too late.

The defeat leaves Steve McKimm`s side just three points above the bottom four while Grays are only three points adrift of fifth-placed Enfield with a game in hand.
