Saturday's Premier Division review

With top of the Ryman Premier's table at stake on Saturday, it was Kingstonian who moved to the summit following a goalless draw against AFC Hornchurch at Bridge Avenue, writes Pitchero's Steve Whitney.

The game was a little disappointing as a spectacle, with little enough goalmouth action or chances of note to entertain fans as the sides cancelled each other out.

Wealdstone moved up to fourth place after a 3-0 win at the Courage Stadium against a now second-bottom Cray Wanderers.

It wasn't quite as comfortable as the score line suggests, the Stones taking 66 minutes to break through a stubborn home defence when Scott McGleish netted from close range. Twelve minutes later and it was 2-0 when the visitors were awarded a penalty for handball and Sean Cronin converted the spot-kick. The best was saved until last though as, two minutes from time, veteran McGleish turned and volleyed a superb strike past Charlie Grainger in the Cray goal.

In a fiery encounter with both sides ending the match with ten-men, Lowestoft Town earned a 2-0 win at the Dripping Pan against Lewes to move above them into seventh spot.

Goals from recent signing Manny Osei after 51 minutes and Rob Eagle on 73 minutes saw an end to the Rooks` unbeaten home record this season. Eagle and the home side`s Nathan Crabb both received second yellow cards late on to see both sides end with ten-men.

Improving Billericay Town had to be content with a point at Victory Road against a Leiston side who levelled late on.

The home side had a great start when Gareth Heath gave them a first-minute lead. But seconds after half-time, Ricky Sappleton equalised and then midway through the half Sean Bonnet-Johnson gave the Essex visitors the lead. But with 7 minutes remaining, sub Joe Francis popped up to equalise from close range.

Canvey Island are tenth now after a last-gasp win at Imber Court against Metropolitan Police.

It looked like ending as a stalemate and then Met defender Elliot Taylor was dismissed for a second yellow with less than four minutes to go. And the Gulls took full advantage, grabbing a last-minute winner, courtesy of a Rob Bartley header.

The only other Premier Division game played on Saturday saw Thamesmead Town move off the bottom of the table following their 2-1 win at Earlsmead against Harrow Borough.

But in truth Boro should have won this game comfortably, having rattled the post and bar on more than one occasion and seeing a 48th minute Steve Butterworth penalty saved by Rob Budd. Six minutes earlier Mead had taken the lead through on-loan Mikel Suarez. Victory was confirmed two minutes from time when Jack Hopkins headed home following a corner.
