TOWN BATTLE TO VICTORY AGAINST BOGNOR REGIS TOWN

The Enfield Town players put in an heroic performance full of pride and passion at Donkey Lane last night in beating play-off chasing Bognor Regis Town - winning 2-1 after coming back from being 0-1 down to a very good footballing side at half-time. Many of The Town starting XI had played on Thursday, Saturday, Tuesday and now Thursday as well as having full-time jobs so the next time you hear a Premier Division player complaining about being tired due to the number of games they have played they really don't have anything to moan about! The Cold End took a night off from filming and sampled the amazing atmosphere behind the goal with the Enfield Town Ultras. Muzzy was on hand to capture the evening's events which are well worth a watch below.

George Borg summed up what an inspirational motivational manager he is by wearing a t-shirt which stated 'PROUD OF MY PLAYERS' and then banging on one of the Ultra's drums. He will know the job is not done yet and lot's of hard graft is still in store over the next few weeks if the Town are to stay up.

The evening was maybe the first and last time Wealdstone fans cheered an Enfield Town victotry and Town fans cheered a Stones win. Town's victory put a dent in The Rock's outside chance of winning the title and our Middlesex rival's 0-3 win at East Thurrock United helped The Town out at the bottom of the table.


Town travel to bottom side Carshalton Athletic tomorrow afternoon where an away victory would confirm the home side's relegation. It would put Town on 43 points with The Robins only able to then get a possible points total of 41. If Cray were to lose their game at home to play-off challenger's Kingstonian and Enfield Town win then both The Wands and The Robins will be relegated.

As The Cold End has stated before it now does look like a race between Wingate and Finchley, Enfield Town and East Thurrock United as to who finishes in the last relegation place.

Other matches involving the bottom of the table tomorrow are Wingate and Finchley traveling to Dulwich Hamlet with East Thurrock United entertaining Essex rival's Canvey Island. Thamesmead Town have a really tough looking trip to Leiston who were really impressive against Town last weekend.
