Get with the e-programme: 2nd March 2019

By Ian Townsend

Love them or hate them, here they are! Our electronic programmes from the weekend.

If you don't like electronic programmes, look away now! Here are our internet offerings from Saturday.

We start in the Bostik Premier Division, and at Colston Avenue, where Carshalton Athletic entertained Folkestone Invicta. Harry Ottaway gave the Robins a very early lead, but two goals in five minutes midway through the first half from Alfie Paxman and Ira Jackson sent the visitors into the break in confident mood. The second half was a different story, as Ottaway completed a hat trick whilst Jacob Mendy got another to seal a 4-2 victory- a result which sees Carshalton six points from a playoff spot with a match in hand. The Robins previewed that match like this.

Eight hundred and eighty one people turned up at the Dripping Pan, where Lewes were entertaining Whitehawk as well as giving free entry to public servants. Only the away fans- and perhaps any neutrals- would have left happy, however, as the Rooks failed to win for the seventh match in a row. Actually, to say that they failed to win does Whitehawk rather a disservice, as the resurgent Hawks got their fourth consecutive victory. Ben Pope put the hosts ahead, but the away side weren’t behind for long, Ky Marsh-Brown scoring the equaliser. In the second half Duane Ofori-Acheampong made it advantage Hawk, and after Omar Lawson sent a spot kick over the bar when set to equalise former Lewes favourite Henry Muggeridge rubbed salt in the wounds in the last minute, making it three-one- or rather one-three. The formerly doomed Hawks are now three points outside the relegation zone.

Here- with video, audio, music and pictures, is the Lewes Progcast, which will undoubtedly be far more entertaining to the home faithful than the actual football was.

In the North Division, promotion hopefuls Aveley travelled to Great Wakering Rovers. The Millers took a first minute lead through Alex Akrofi, and although they had to withstand a great deal of Rovers pressure the away side made it two after the break through Amir Berkane . Anthony Martin halved the arrears only for Harry Gibbs to make it 1-3, and although Martin found the net once more a minute from time, Aveley held on for victory.

The programme for that match can be found here.

Into the South Central Division now, and we start at Larges Lane, home of Bracknell Town. The Robins are second, first half goals from David Hancock and Adam Cornell ensuring that the Saints of Chalfont didn’t go marching in.

Cheshunt in fourth place, delivered the comeback of the day. Hanwell Town went into a two goal lead, Louis Bircham and Zaine Gangadeen doing the damage, but that seemingly woke up the Amber hordes as they then got four of their own, three before the break and one shortly afterwards. Ashley Nzala, Jordan Westcott, Jason Hallett and then Nzala with his second made it 4-2, and that’s how it finished.

Marlow entertained bottom of the table Egham Town, Adam Richards and Kelvin Bossman doing the damage in a 2-0 victory for the home side, whilst Uxbridge took the lead at home to Chipstead, Andrew Whorms opening the scoring, but Sam Bell got an equaliser and Callum Hope got the winner for the Chips four minutes from time.

Finally we go to the South East Division. Sittingbourne, in freefall a short while ago, recorded their fourth consecutive victory by scoring three goals against rivals Faversham Town, who could only manage one of their own. Timileyin Toluwanile and Lewis Chambers made it 2-0 at the break, and whilst Matthew Bourne was able to pull one back the Brickies weren’t to be denied, Billy Lewins restoring their two goal cushion. The Brickies are up to thirteenth, Town are fifteenth- and here's how that match was previewed. By the way, Sittingbourne still sell a paper programme, they just put it online afterwards.
