FEAST OF FOOTBALL AT GOLDSDOWN ROAD

There is feast of football down at Goldsdown Road this week as Enfield Town welcome Romford tonight in yet another play-off six pointer and tomorrow Enfield 1893 FC 'visit' in the long awaited Middlesex Charity Cup game.
 
Romford and Enfield Town's league record with Leyton's figures now expunged reads as follows -

               P   W  D L  GF GA GD PTS 
ROMFORD        23  13 3 7  39 27 12 43
ENFIELD TOWN   25  13 2 10 53 33 20 41 

The above shows what an important game it is tonight. Romford didn't give away many goals up until Christmas but since the turn of the year they have conceded nineteen in nine games which compared to fourteen in sixteen games prior is an obvious positive for the rest of the play off chasing teams.

They have lost their last three away games at Brentwood Town (0-2), Grays Athletic (0-3) and East Thurrock United (0-3) but having said that they have been one of the most consistent teams in the league this season so they will present a big hurdle for Town to get over.

Wednesday night sees the most local of derbies taking place as Essex Senior League table toppers Enfield 1893 visit in the Middlesex Charity Cup. 1893 are having a great season having only lost three times in their league campaign. Two defeats have come recently away at fellow title contenders Stansted and at home to Barking. They did follow those defeats up with a 2-0 win at Southend Manor who had won their previous twelve league games. In their last three games they have beaten Mauritius Sports, Sawbridgeworth Town and Witham Town putting them in a great position at the top of the table.

1893 do not have a league game tonight so will probably play a strong side in this game.

The winners of this tie will be at home to Combined Counties League side Hanworth Villa in the Second Round.

Unfortunately due to other commitments the cold end camera will not be at these games.
