Two stunning goals by Matt Harrold were the highlight of an impressive first-half display by Wingate on Tuesday night that set the way for a 3-2 win at Wivenhoe Town in the Ryman League Division One (North).

After firing a powerful shot into the corner of the net in the 34th minute, Harrold headed home forcefully from John Butterfield's cross six minutes before the break.

A Clive Wilson effort on 23 minutes had cancelled out a fifth-minute goal by Danny Roberts for Wivenhoe, who got their second through Martin Calver 12 minutes from the end.

WINGATE & FINCHLEY: Walker, Neilsen, Wilson (Haswell 75), Chapman, Morris, Liebmann, Shafer, Boateng (Wood 71), Harrold, Taylor, Butterfield. Sub not used: Berg.
