A good day for the Millers and the K’s

By Ian Townsend

Cray Valley PM and Kingstonian sail through, Erith and Hastings need to try again, and the Jammers suffer a massacre on Cup Sunday

Biggleswade, siting in mid table in Pitching In Southern Division One Central, played host to Maldon & Tiptree- and, truthfully, that’s all we want to say about that. The result? Eight-nil.

Erith & Belvedere started their cup campaign by hitting Sussex Seasiders Littlehampton Town for six, but found their latest set of Sussex Seasiders a little more of a challenge, Premier Division side Hastings United making the trip to Welling. United had conceded only two goals all season coming into this one, and that statistic remained the same, but the Deres ensured that they didn’t change any statistics at the other end, either. Nil-nil and back to Pilot Field in midweek.

Kingstonian welcome Lydd Town of the SCEFL to Imperial Fields, and home fans were able to salute the brilliance of striker Andy Somo. He got the opener seven minutes before the break, and when the visitors reduced the arrears to two-one with twenty minutes left he added two more to take a hat trick, the match ball, and secure a four-one win. The K’s second goal, just before the break, was scored by Rudy Allen.

Uxbridge welcomed Cray Valley PM to Slough Town. Both sides were in good form heading into this match, but the Millers dominated, heading back to Kent with a three-nil victory. Freddie Parker’s third of the season opened the scoring on nine minutes, and on the half hour Kyrell Lisbie continued his fine start to the campaign by adding the second- meaning that he has scored in his last five matches. It was game over with twenty one minutes to go, Matthew Vigor adding a third and taking his tally for the campaign to three. The Millers first six matches have now seen them score twenty goals.
