With the majority of teams having played 7 games who would of predicted that last season's basement boys Waltham Forest would be sitting in third position with only Chatham Town (who finished 21st out of 22 teams in Division One (South)) and Grays Athletic above them??

The Stags got there fifth win of their seven games yesterday in the 2-0 defeat of Harlow Town at Cricklefields. Joshua Bonnett scored the opener and is now joint second top scorer in the league on five goals with David Cobb of Soham Town Rangers.

Top scorer so far is Sam Newson of Needham Market who scored his eighth league goal of the season at The Marketmen's 1-1 draw at Romford yesterday.

Result of the day goes to Redbridge's 0-3 win at previously unbeaten Heybridge Swifts. Not even The Only way is Essex star Mark Wright, making his debut for the Swifts on the left wing, could stop Terry Spillane's men who thanks to goals from Ben Bradbury, Dan Trenkel and Ryan Murray moved up into ninth place in the table.

Thamesmead Town also had a successful away day by continuing their good form with an excellent 0-2 win over AFC Sudbury.

After knocking Evo-Stick Southern Premier League team Cambridge City out of the FA Cup on Tuesday night it was back to their disappointing league form for Maldon and Tiptree in a 4-1 defeat at Leiston who are now up to fourth place.

There were no 0-0 draws yesterday with only three teams (AFC Sudbury, Heybridge Swifts & Harlow Town) unable to hit the back of the net.

There is a full set of league fixtures this midweek with some really good games in prospect. Redbridge's home game with table topper's Grays Athletic stands out as well as 2nd v 3rd on Wednesday night at Cricklefields when Waltham Forest play Chatham Town.

There should be good crowd at Victory Road for the Suffolk derby between Leiston and AFC Sudbury. Leiston will be looking for some quick revenge as AFC won there in the first qualifying round of the FA Cup on the 17th September in front of 283 people.

A full league table and forthcoming fixtures can be found on the official Ryman League website.
