North Division news

ROB WHITNELL (pictured) netted his 18th Ryman North goal of the season five minutes from time tonight (Wednesday) to give Witham a 1-0 home win over Cheshunt and keep their play-off hopes alive.

Witham are now level with Soham, both being just three points behind fifth-placed Aveley. But Millers have two games in hand.

The other game in the division was a 1-1 draw. Luke Ingram gave hosts Sudbury a 35th-minute lead from the spot and 18-year-old Ryan Blackman replied for Tilbury three minutes later.

Where next?

Stimson stuns Trawlerboys A GOAL by Charlie Stimson proved to be of vital importance at both ends of the table. It earned lowly Thurrock a shock 1-0 victory at Ryman Premier title-chasers Lowestoft tonight (Thursday).

Cray collect three precious points TWO goals in five first-half minutes earned Cray a 2-0 win at Bury tonight (Wednesday) and makes it very likely that the two clubs will meet in the Ryman Premier again next season.
