Mills sends Hawks to the top

By Peter Butcher

A GOAL by recent signing Danny Mills lifted Whitehawk to the top of the Ryman Premier table tonight (Tuesday).

They needed a point from their home game against Met Police to displace Hampton from pole position – and a point was all they got from a 1-1 draw. Allan Tait scored for the Met after 21 minutes and Mills replied ten minutes before the interval.

Bury came from behind to win 3-1 at East Thurrock and move into the play-off places. Sam Collins put the hosts ahead on the half-hour but John Sands equalised soon after the change of ends. Allicion Blake and John Kennedy completed the turnaround.

Veteran midfielder Jonathan Hunt fired home from 25 yards midway through the second half to give Enfield Town the lead at home to Harrow and Adam Wallace made it 2-0.

Paul Vines, who joined Cray from Carshalton last month, netted the decider as his new team beat his old one 3-2 at Bromley. Leigh Brenner put Cray ahead after 24 minutes but the visitors rallied and led 2-1 at the interval thanks to Nathaniel Pinney and Justyn Roberts. Bremner squared it again on 66 minutes and Vines got the winner five minutes later.

Hendon are still without an away goal and remain in the relegation zone, though now only on goal difference, after a 0-0 draw at Lewes while two other Sussex clubs, based either side of Lewes, shared the points at Hastings where Bailo Camara gave the hosts a 25th-minute lead and Ashley Robinson (on the extreme left of the picture by Tommy McMillan) replied for Bognor 12 minutes later.
