No match for Enfield Town FC today as most of the FA Cup First Qualifying Round games were played.
Stotfold, who shocked Town in the Preliminary Round, travellled to Essex to play Ryman Premier Division Billericay Town. Three hundred and nineteen people saw it a step to far for the Bedfordshire side as The Blues raced into a three goal lead within 25 minutes through a Rob Swain double and David Knight. Tony Boot scored a second half goal to make the final score 4-0.
Elsewhere, the world's greatest cup competition worked it's magic in North and East London as well as on the Essex coast.
Redbridge travelled to Ryman Premier Division side Wingate and Finchley and came away with a magnificent 0-3 victory. Dan Trenkel scored for the Ryman North side who now join a number of other Ryman North sides in the draw for the Second Qualifying Round on Monday.
Waltham Forest continued their excellent start to the season by defeating Hitchin Town at Cricklefields. The Stags scored in the 71st and 79th minutes to go through against their Step 3 opponents.
Southend Manor worked some more magic against Ryman Division One North opponents after sending Cheshunt out in the last round. Romford were the losers this time as the Essex Senior League side won 4-2. They are now their league's only representatives in the Cup after Stansted went out against Canvey Island this afternoon.
Other honorable mentions go out to Maldon and Tiptree and Brentwood Town who will replay at home against Step 3 sides in midweek. M&T play Cambridge City after a 2-2 draw and Brentwood Town play Hemel Hempstead Town after a 0-0 draw. Also Spartan South Midlands League side's Hatfield Town and Berkhamsted who will play Barton Rovers and St Albans City at home in midweek after very creditable draws at Step 3 sides.
Town will travel in midweek to Thamesmead Town after they won 0-2 at Shoreham.
