League Review

after being brought down by Magpies` keeper Harry Dillon, and the top scorer
made no mistake for his hat-trick and makes it 3-0. Emmanuel and United’s fourth
goal eventually arrived 5 minutes from time.
At the other end of the table, Hartley Wintney were the only team in the bottom
four to gain a point, with Hendon moving three points clear of fourth-bottom
Harrow Borough after recording a crucial 2-1 win at Merthyr Town.
Bottom side Yate Town lost 3-2 at Holloways Park against Beaconsfield Town,
who are now a very creditable ninth. Luke Neville gave the Rams a 13th minute
lead that new signing Lucas Tomlinson cancelled out 8 minutes later. Nathan
Minhas restored the hosts` lead on the half-hour mark. But 5 minutes into the
second half, the Bluebells were level, thanks to Ben McLean. The home side
grabbed all three points in the first minute of stoppage time with a lovely curling
effort from Dan Bradshaw.
Third-bottom North Leigh suffered a 4-2 loss at the Raymond McEnhill Stadium
to Salisbury – and they did so after finishing the game with only nine men! The
Whites took a 23rd minute lead when Dan Fitchett was brought down in the box
and Brandon Goodship converted the resulting penalty. But Latrell Humphrey-
Ewers pulled the Millers back on level terms 5 minutes later, and then went in front
through Jordan Thomas 2 minutes afterwards only for Salisbury to equalise just 2
minutes later through James Plant. Fitchett made it 3-2 to the hosts on the hour-
mark but Salisbury then had Bouwe Bosma shown a straight red card for a reckless
challenge in the 77th minute and 5 minutes from time, Brian Dutton’s side went
down to nine men when Nassim Kherbouche was shown a second yellow for a
deliberate handball. However, the home side sealed victory in the 89th minute with
a fourth from Devon Arnold.
Fourth-bottom Harrow suffered a 4-0 defeat at Bolitho Park by Plymouth
Parkway.
Dan Rooney gave the hosts a 25th minute lead they held at the break. Harrow held
out until the 72nd minute when Ryan Lane eventually doubled Parkway’s lead. The
returning Adam Carter came off the bench to make it 3-0 in the 78th minute and 4
minutes into stoppage time, Sonny Hart scored an outrageous own goal as sliced
the ball into his own net.
A crowd of 585 saw inconsistent Merthyr lose at the Met Coaches Stadium to
Hendon.
Dave Diedhiou put the Greens in front after just 7 minutes, only for the Martyrs to
equalise within a minute through Ricardo Rees. But Hendon grabbed three crucial
points when Diedhiou scored his second of the afternoon with less than 3 minutes
remaining.
Gosport Borough will now be looking over their shoulder at the relegation battle
after losing 2-0 at Privett Park to Hanwell Town. Despite their indifferent form,
Gosport continue to attract decent attendances, with 705 at this one. But the
majority of them left disappointed as the Geordies scored second half goals from
Matt Mackenzie 5 minutes after the break and Tom McElroy in the 62nd minute.
