Division One

The two games that survived the heavy overnight rain both ended in 2-2 draws as the weather took its toll on the fixture list.

The clash between the sides in second and third place, Tudor Athletic and FC Unicorn, saw Unicorn come back from two goals down to take a vital point, meaning their opponents have now drawn their last two games.

Tudor went ahead after only five minutes from a penalty converted by James Hocking, but Unicorn stepped up the pressure afterwards, with Sheldon Berkeley and Jamie Calvin going close.

Despite this, Tudor got the next goal, their second, on the half-hour mark when a corner found the feet of Gary Coyle, who back-heeled the ball goal bound. Danny Warwick seemed to have cleared off the line but the referee’s assistant flagged to indicate that it had crossed the line.

Unicorn got back into the game after the break when a corner was cleared by the Tudor defence, only for it to land into the path of Luke Habbijam to catch on the half volley from 35 yards, which struck the post before going into the net.

The pressure was mounting more and more on the Tudor defence and, with 15 minutes remaining, Unicorn drew level. Callum O’Connor whipped in a cross only for it to strike the hand of a Tudor defender outside the area and, from the free-kick, Luke Peerless stepped up and bent the ball around the wall into the back of net.

Both sides will be happy with the fact that leaders FC Woodside also dropped points against AFC Bedmond.

They were left frustrated having only taken a single point when they felt they should have had all three after twice taking the lead.

Tommy Twelves raced onto a pin-point through ball before rounding the Woodside keeper and slotting home to open the scoring.

Michael Griffin levelled the scores in the second half, but Bedmond looked like they had won the game with five minutes left when Maz Urgo swept the ball home following a swift counter-attack.

With two minutes left though, Joe Fox equalised.

The draw leaves Woodside five points clear of Tudor, although they have played three games more. Unicorn are two points further behind Tudor, who have four games in hand on the leaders.

Division Two

It was a good morning for leaders Everett Rovers as not only did they thrash bottom-placed Ricky AFC 13-1, they have opened up a two-point advantage on Bushey Rangers, who drew 3-3 with Northwood.

Ryan Denham opened the scoring after five minutes with a simple tap-in before Meshach Williams scored his first and second of the game, with Jake Knight also taking advantage of some good passing to get in on the goal-scoring act.

A hat-trick from Barry Mitchell made the scoreline 7-0 at at half-time.

The second half saw Ricky playing better with the wind to their advantage but Everett continued to score at regular intervals, with Williams taking his tally to five for the match, followed up with two goals from Knight to complete his hat-trick.

Tiago Campos scored on his debut to round off a great performance but Ricky also managed to score a very late consolation through Adam Roe.

Shaun Wheeler, Alex Wallace and Connor Hewitt-Coleman all scored for Northwood as they held second-placed Bushey to a 3-3 draw. Stephen King, Chad Flaherty and Taylor Cobb netted the Bushey replies.

Division Three

Chess United moved up to fourth place in the table after edging past second bottom NWFC by the odd goal in seven.

Connor Graham hit a brace and there was a goal each for Tom Noades and Nelson Pequeno, who were on target for Chess. Hisham Butt scored a double of his own, and there was one from Aamir Ishaq for the beaten home side.

Terry Devereux President’s Cup Group A

With St Josephs and Rickmansworth Town already qualified for the semi-finals, the home side’s 5-0 win means they finished top of the group.

Despite seeing Anton Collins’ early penalty saved by the Rickmansworth keeper, within minutes they got a second spot-kick, which saw the keeper sent-off. The resulting kick was this time taken by Robbie Tocher, who dispatched it with ease.

An individual goal from Jonny Hopkins made it two, before Tocher and Collins also netted, making up for his early penalty miss, before the break.

St Josephs could only add one further goal to their tally after the break through Collins, for his second of the game.
