Hello & welcome to another Bostik North round-up, here on the blog.
Here’s the round-up, followed as usual by a list of the results in Bostik Division South on Easter Monday & Tuesday 4th March:
Monday 2nd April
Aveley 3 – 0 Canvey Island
| Venue: Parkside (6pm KO) | Att: 342
Aveley secured a big win to leave Canvey’s promotion chances fading in the wind. Myles Keizer-Burrows [30′] and Tom Richardson [41′] goals gave the initative to the hosts in the second of two games at Parkside. Calvin Ekpiteta’s late third sealed the Millers’ 3rd win in their last six matches sees them rise to 15th. Canvey’s fourth defeat in their last eight matches sees them remain 4th though they also are nine points behind the top two.
Bowers & Pitsea P – P Heybridge Swifts
| Venue: Len Salmon Stadium |
This match was postponed due to a waterlogged pitch.
Brentwood Town 1 – 6 AFC Hornchurch
| Venue: Parkside (1pm KO) | Att: 235
The double-header at Parkside began with a big win for champions-elect Hornchurch over Brentwood. The Urchins were two goals ahead early on as Tobi Joseph [3′] and Nathan Cooper [5′] struck. George Purcell made it three on 21 minutes before Christian Assombalonga’s hat-trick [35′, 61′ & 83′] added to Brentwood’s pain before Brenden Cavalier’s late consolation. Town fell to their fourth loss in their last eight outings and they remain 21st, nine points above the bottom spot. Hornchurch’s 3rd win in their last six matches means they are three wins away from the title.
