Highlights: Cheshunt 1 Canvey Island 3

Cheshunt welcomed Canvey Island, hoping for three points which would virtually guarantee their Premier Division status- but will have been concerned that the visitors had suddenly found form, defeating Champions Hornchurch and Potters Bar Town over the last week. They looked right to be concerned when Sam Higgins scored for the third match in a row to give the Gulls the lead on seventeen minutes, and it got worse for the Amber faithful when Higgins added a second seven minutes later. The hosts got a goal back with fourteen minutes to go, perhaps spurred on to greater endeavour by news of the scoreline from Margate, Nathaniel Orafu halving the arrears, but it was the visitors who got the next goal, Rob Girdlestone making it three-one five minutes from time. That was that, and the Ambers are out of the bottom four only on goal difference- albeit with a game in hand.
