The 1^st XI extended their lead at the top of the Essex League this week with a 3-0 victory over Gable Hall. With league rivals not playing or facing tough games it was important to get three points in a potential banana skin game. After holding out some pressure from the start a mistake from the Gable Hall keeper was latched onto by captain Robinson who made the most of it and tapped it in from a yard out. The second just before the half couldn’t have been any different. Phagura lined up a free kick from the best part of 40 yards and struck it with power and straight into the top corner. It got even better before the half with great work from Akinpelu whose hussle forced a mistake and Afreh slotted home. The second half saw a solid defensive display and kept the clean sheet. 3 excellent points to finish up the league for this half term. Attention turns to Essex Cup Quarter final next Wednesday.
