Old boys on the mark for Enfield

Scott McGleish, 39, continued his prolific form by converting Mark Kirby’s knockdown on the half-hour and four minutes later another McGleish shot was turned in by 40-year-old Bryan Hammatt for his first goal of the season.

Ben Godfrey pulled one back for Lewes with 17 minutes but the defeat leaves them looking anxiously over their shoulders while Town are virtually assured of a second season in the Premier.

Thurrock lifted themselves off the foot of the table with a 3-0 home win over Harrow: quite a comedown for the Middlesex side who beat leaders Whitehawk the previous Saturday.

Danny Green’s cross was headed home by Lewwis Spence after 16 minutes, Harry Honesty doubled the score in the 33rd minute and Jamar Dobson wrapped it up with 11 minutes left.

Even an assistant referee appeared to be excited by a Thurrock attack, as pictured by Mikey Cartwright.

Thurrock are still in the relegation places but are within five points of five teams, including Harrow, with anything from three to seven games in hand on them.

Carshalton are back at the bottom after going down 3-1 at home to Bury, their tenth home defeat of the season, in a game they could have settled before half-time.

Ola Sogbanmu’s 22nd-minute header put them in front but they should have had more. Instead they turned round on level terms when Craig Parker converted a penalty five minutes before the break.

Then it was over to the division’s top scorer John Sands, who extended his lead with a shot and a header in the first ten minutes of the second half, taking his total to 22 and lifting his side into the play-off places.

Hastings are two points above Thurrock after a goalless stalemate against Hampton at the Pilot Field. Hampton had the upper hand but home keeper Daniel East was in fine form and a post saved him when he was beaten by James Simmonds in the first half.

The hosts almost snatched it when a late effort by Jack Dixon was cleared off the line amid penalty appeals, but there was no breakthrough and Hastings drew at home for the tenth time in 14 games.

Wingate also stayed in trouble after a 3-2 defeat at high-flying Canvey. Spencer Bellotti had one effort disallowed before putting the visitors ahead in the 18th minute.

Bradley Woods-Garness netted his 18th league goal to level it late in the first half but Bellotti struck again midway through the second. James Hawes made it 2-2 with 14 minutes left and Jay Curran won it for the islanders six minutes from time.

Canvey stay third, behind Wealdstone whose 1-0 victory at Met Police sets them up nicely for next week’s visit to leaders Whitehawk. A tight game was settled by Tom Pett, who finished off a Lee Chappell cross five minutes after the break.

Stones are within seven points of Whitehawk with two games in hand after the Sussex side battled out a goalless draw at Lowestoft. The home side, unbeaten in 15, had the better chances and Greg Crane was narrowly off target with a late header.

Although the dropped points cost Lowestoft their place in the top five, they can overtake Hawks by winning their games in hand, and fourth-placed Concord can catch them.

Tony Stokes and Luke Chambers were the heroes of their 1-0 win at Bognor, Stokes with a 59th-minute goal and Chambers with a penalty save from Sam Pearce shortly afterwards.

Kingstonian have scored only twice in five games since thrashing Cray 9-3 and they went down 2-0 at home to East Thurrock. Sam Higgins opened the scoring in the tenth minute and James Lawson headed the clincher midway through the second half.

The division’s third goalless draw came at Hendon, where Margate were the visitors. Joe Vines hit the bar for Margate in the closing stages: had it gone in they would have been up to fifth place, but instead they dropped to seventh.
