ANOTHER NEW DATE FOR THE 1893 MIDDLESEX CHARITY CUP GAME

Last night's postponed Middlesex Charity Cup game will now take place on Wednesday 2nd March (weather permitting!!) at Goldsdown Road.

Town now have five very important league fixtures as well as the local derby cup match in the next few weeks.  

Brentwood Town come to Goldsdown Road Saturday and then a trip to Waltham Abbey in scheduled for Tuesday night before a visit to Scraley Road to play Heybridge Swifts next Saturday....a trio of tough away days in completed on Wednesday 9th March with a journey to Grays Athletic. Championship challengers Needham Market visit Town on Saturday 12th March.

With these important league games coming up it's not a surprise to see Steve Newing will be using the 1893 game to give some of the squad and youth team players a run out.

ESSEX SENIOR LEAGUE CURRENT TOP TWO 
              P  W  D L GF GA  GD PTS 
Enfield 1893  22 17 2 3 56 18 +38 53 
Stansted      19 16 3 0 54 12 +42 51

As the above indicates 1893 are firmly in the race for the title in the ESL. They face Burnham Ramblers away on Saturday and entertain Barkingside next Saturday. Last season's champions and currently unbeaten Stansted could be considered as favourites with three games in hand and only two points below. The Airportmen play catch up next midweek with trips down the M11 to play Eton Manor on Monday night and Mauritius Sports Association on Thursday night. Prior to these away games they make the short journey to local rivals Takeley on Saturday.

The cold end is unaware of what sort of team 1893 will be putting out for the Middlesex Charity Cup game but their reserve side have a rearranged Semi Final of the Middlesex Premier Cup at Wealdstone Reserves on the same date of  the 2nd of March which indicates they will put out a strong side against the Town.
