Urchins wallop Wands

With everything so tight at the bottom of the Pitching In Isthmian Premier Division, Cray Wanderers really needed to pick up something from the visit of high-flying Hornchurch, but all they got was a hiding.

Hornchurch, five matches unbeaten and in fourth place, were always going to be a difficult opponent for the Wands, but as it turned out the Urchins delivered all the magic. It was one-nil at half time, Ola Ogunwamide with the opener on fourteen minutes, and two-nil on sixty six minutes- Liam Nash with his nineteenth of the season (twenty first if you include the Pitching In Super Cup)- but even then there may have been a way back for the hosts, who were in the match until capitulating during the last five minutes.

Ellis Brown made it three-nil on eighty five, three minutes later Charlie Ruff got number four, and Tobi Joseph popped up with a fifth right at the end.

That result sees the Urchins climb to third in the battle for a home play off place, whilst Wands are second from the bottom, having won only one of their last ten.
