Blue Tuesday!

We've away wins for Canvey and Margate, and four first half goals for Herne Bay as last Tuesday night went Blue.

Potters Bar Town needed just a point to take over from Bishop’s Stortford at the top of the table, so the fact that they sit in second place will tell you quite how many points they got as Canvey Island came to call. As we entered the very last minute the live table showed the Scholars sitting pretty at the summit, but just a moment later they were back in second, as Connor Hubble got a late, late winner for the travelling Gulls. Canvey had earlier taken the lead through Evans Kouassi just before the quarter hour, whilst Miles Mitchell-Nelson equalised on the stroke of half time - and that looked to be that, but Hubble knew different.

Enfield Town could have gone top given the Scholars fell to defeat, but they ended up in third after taking just a point against Bognor Regis Town at the QEII. The Rocks took the lead on fifteen minutes, Nick Dembele with the goal, only for Jake Cass to equalise from the spot five minutes after the break. That was that - six league matches unbeaten for the Towners, and the Rocks in tenth.

Our biggest win of the night came at Herne Bay, where the hosts walloped visiting Lewes by four goals to one. Bay were without a League win since August 16th, whilst the Rooks hadn’t delivered a bread and butter win since August 20th, and the visitors winless run continued as they sit only a point above the bottom four. Bay were irrepressible in the first half, Jack

Parter, Kieron Campbell and Tushaun Walters scoring in a six minute spell from sixteen to twenty-two minutes which must have stunned both sets of fans, albeit for different reasons. Rory Smith got a fourth from the spot four minutes before half time, and eight minutes from the end Joe Taylor got a consolation from the spot for the Rooks. Bay are out of the bottom four.

Corinthian-Casuals still can’t use their own ground due to storm damage, so ‘hosted’ last night’s visit of Margate at Leatherhead’s Fetcham Grove. Casuals hadn’t won since opening day and parted company with boss Tony Reid on Monday; whilst Gate had also lost their way a little, having drawn one of their last five matches in League, FA Cup and Trophy, losing the other four. Gate now have another win to brighten their morning, after Ben Greenhalgh got the only goal of the game from the spot six minutes after the break.

The Urchins had a magnificent September, taking maximum points, scoring thirteen goals and conceding only one.

Many congratulations to Mark and to all at Bridge Avenue, who have a shiny trophy heading their way.
