Kingfishers and Westfield both hit five

The South Central postponement bingo card was in operation prior to kick off, and it left us with only four fixtures.

Marlow put their three consecutive defeats behind them when defeating Sutton Common Rovers on Wednesday night, and looked to build on that as they travelled to Uxbridge. Their away form was actually better than their form at Oak Tree Road, so the trip to Honeycroft won’t have been thought too much of a burden, particularly as their hosts have gone four without a win- and they were ahead after just three minutes, Dawid Rogalski scoring for the twenty fourth time this season. It was two-nil only three minutes later, Khalid Simmo scoring for the second time this week, and although the hosts were back in the match midway through the half after Mahlondo Martin converted from the spot, Rogalski had another just before the break to make it three-one at half time. The second half had no further goals, but Marlow won’t care. They remain fifth, eight points behind the leaders, albeit with a game in hand.

Westfield were hoping to retake their place in the top five as they welcomed Hartley Wintney. The Woking side had won their last four and been rather impressive, and had an unbeaten run that was seven games long- and it showed, as they were out of sight by half time. Jacob Breckon opened the scoring on ten minutes, and then ten minutes before the break he broke through the visiting defence once more, scoring his tenth of the season. It was three-nil just before half time, Andrew Crossley with that one, and there must have been a feeling of deja-vu for Hartley Wintney, as they lost four-nil to these opponents in October, all of those goals also arriving before the break. The visitors decided that they would try to make a game of it, IK Hill getting a goal back on fifty six minutes, but within two minutes we were at the other end and Breckon was claiming the match ball. Right at the end Jordan Alves made it five-one, and that was finally that- but they remain sixth, outside the top five only on goal difference.

Thatcham Town were one of our form sides, with only one defeat in ten- and the Kingfishers were on the road to the Racecourse, where they took on Ascot United looking to do the double over the Yellas. The early stages were packed with goals. Muhamadou Ceesay put Town ahead after just three minutes, only for Taylor Morgan to quickly level, but the visitors were ahead again as David Nyarko got his tenth of the season on twelve minutes and three-one up before the break, Harry Hoath giving his side a cushion. After the break the traffic was one way, the Kingfishers adding a fourth and a fifth, Kyle Daniel-Spray and Ceesay doing more damage, and they climb to seventh.

Met Police welcomed Badshot Lea to Imber Court. The Boys in Blue were in their best form of the season, having won three of their previous four, whilst the Baggies had slowed down a little, without a win in four matches. The first half was goalless, but the hosts broke the deadlock just before the hour mark, Jamal Andrew Sharpe with the opener. The visitors levelled thirteen minutes from time, Kareem Akinibbi- who recently signed for the Baggies from Met- scoring his first goal for his new side. That was that- Met in fourteenth, the Baggies eleventh.
