Make it Snappy!

We reguarly rely on photographers across the Pitching In Isthmian League to illustrate our work here, and given a large number of them were out on a touchline yesterday we thought we'd share a few with you this morning.

In no particular order, here we go- with the particular match summary added!

AFC Sudbury travelled to face Potton United. The yellows, unbeaten so far this season, travelled on the back of a three game winning streak- but it took them a long time to make that four, the winning goal coming in the very last minute through Tyrese Osbourne. Images, as always, from Steve Screech- here.

Bognor Regis Town, fresh from that morale-boosting win at Worthing on Monday, travelled to face Hayes and Yeading United. The Pitching In Southern Premier South leaders had won all five of their matches so far, scoring sixteen goals in the process- and, of course, defeated Bognor five-nil in the Second Qualifying Round last year. The Rocks were out of the blocks like Usain Bolt, scoring in the first minute through Jordy Mongoy, but were pegged back twelve minutes later and were two one down inside twenty minutes. The Rocks weren’t rolling away, however, and equalised just before the break through Ashton Leigh, but the next goal, fourteen minutes from time, went to the hosts, who went three-two up. Hayes made it four just before the end, and the Rocks cup hopes were extinguished. Gavin McCallum got one back, but it wasn’t enough. Martin Denyer took some images, and you can find his work here.

Bracknell Town travelled to Burgess Hill Town. The Hillians had yet to really get started, losing all three league matches, whilst the Robins were rather ominously beginning to confirm why they are title favourites- but it was the Hillians who made the breakthrough just after half time, Trey Masikini with the opener. The same player doubled the advantage just after the hour, and when Temi Eweka saw red for the Robins it seemed a long way back. It was, and the Hillians advance. Hill photographer Chris Neal took our headline image, and there are many more here.

Cheshunt lost their unbeaten record as they fell to narrow defeat at Enfield Town on Monday, and faced a tough challenge as they travelled to Brentwood Town. The Ambers made the breakthrough with only eighteen minutes left, Joe Re with the goal, and a few minutes later Mo Camara made it two. That was that, and the Ambers advance. Our celebration image is by Don Blandford and comes from Twitter, but you will undoubtedly find this and the rest of his work here, later.

Our league leaders, Kingstonian, had won every match so far. They travelled to face Oxhey Jets of the SSML Premier Division, who were unbeaten since the opening day. The K’s went ahead just after the break, Rhys Murrell-Williamson opening the scoring, but were soon pegged back. Murrell-Williamson restored the lead on sixty five minutes but again Jets got themselves level with eleven minutes remaining and that was that- replay required. Simon Roe was there, and his images are here.

Cray Wanderers hosted Sutton Common Rovers, and the South Central Division side took an early lead, Brendan Murphy-Mcvey opening the scoring. The underdogs laughed at that label as they doubled the lead before the break, Danny Fernandez with this one, but Wands got one back just before the break, Anthony Cook scoring from the spot. The next goal was all-important, and it came to Rovers, Adam Allen making it three and sealing a famous win for the visitors. Images can be found here, for now, and we suspect are from the lens of Gary Brigden.

Barking hosted Ilford in a Preliminary Round tie played again because of an illegible player for the initially-victorious visitors, and it was the visitors who struck first once more, after twelve minutes. Barking equalised six minutes before the break, George Purcell with his fourth of the campaign, and then went ahead as Purcell added another to that tally. Ilford equalised with thirteen minutes remaining, but Kieran Jones broke their hearts with a blues winner on eighty nine minutes. Image from Terry Gilbert, see more here.

Lewes, unbeaten in three matches, hosted another of our former sides, Metropolitan Police. Met are in the Pitching In Southern Premier South these days, and were unbeaten in five- and showed why when they took a nineteenth minute lead. It was nil-two on twenty eight minutes, but Joe Taylor set up a rip-roaring finale by halving the arrears from the spot with eighteen minutes left. Sadly the thin blue line remained unbroken, and the Rooks are out. James Boyes took the images, and you can find them all here.

Corinthian-Casuals travelled to face Worthing with both looking to bounce back from defeat on Monday- and the visitors started quickly, Benjamin Cheklit giving them a third minute lead. The Mackerel Men hit back soon afterwards, delighting most of the eight hundred and sixty nine in attendance with Mo Diallo equalising on the quarter hour, but with no more goals we’ll be off to Tolworth to do it all again. Stuart Tree got his camera out- more here.

Kyle Hemsley photographed Haywards Heath Town v Horsham. The Hornets took four points from six over the Bank Holiday weekend, Heath six from six, and given the hosts also defeated Lancing in the Cup to reach this stage they went into this match with a one hundred percent record in all competitions. The visitors took the lead just before the break, an own goal breaking the deadlock, but Heath struck back through Byron Napper eight minutes after the restart and they’ll both have to do it all again in midweek. Kyle's images are here.

In League Action, Three Bridges defeated Lancing in the Pitching In Isthmian League South East Division. Eva Gilbert took fabulous images, as usual, and you can find them here. Brannon O'Neill- it always seems to be Brannon O'Neill- got the goal.

If we've missed any- perhaps they aren't up yet- please let us know.
