RYMAN PREMIER REVIEW - K'S EARN NARROW VICTORY AT THE LANE

No footage of the Enfield Town game today as I couldn't make the game against title challenger's Kingstonian. Town included new signings (dual registered with Skrill Premier Braintree Town) Newman Carney and Sam Griffiths in their starting XI and ran the K's very close eventually going down 0-1 thanks to a Ryan Moss second half goal. The signs are there that George Borg is doing what we all know he is capable of and that is moving the Town up the table.

Down the bottom of the table both Cray Wanderers and Carshalton Athletic lost. Cray went down 4-0 at Canvey Island with the on-loan (from local rival's Concord) Tony Stokes bagging a brace of goals. The Robins were beaten 1-0 at high flyer's Maidstone United. Thamesmead Town continued their "draw specialist form" with a 2-2 result against Lowestoft Town in front of just 76 people at Bayliss Avenue. Jake Reed had scored in the 89th minute to make it 1-2 to The Trawlerboys only for Lewis Tozer to make it 2-2 on 90 minutes via the penalty spot. The Met got a great 0-3 win at Wingate which pulls The Blues (fifth defeat on the trot) back down towards the drop zone. There is now a five point gap between Thamesmead currently in 21st and East Thurrock United in 20th.  The full results from the Ryman Premier are as follows -
