Hello all and welcome to my round-up of the action in the Essex Olympian League, on Saturday 18 December. This week, we had a deluge of matches postponed because of Covid-related reasons (with the fixture list’s proximity to Christmas & rising case numbers in the county) plus the advance of Wintery weather would also have had an effect.
Included in this mini-article is the surviving action this weekend & a look at the Division Two table at Christmas, with four months remaining of the season. Many thanks for reading.
Essex Olympian League Round-up – Saturday 18 December
EOFL Division Two
Two matches were played in Division Two and they involved the top three teams in the division. ACD Utd are the new leaders after a conclusive 5 – 1 win over AS Rawreth at Westlands. Michael Wade lead the goal-scoring here with two goals for Greg Knock’s side. Jacob Dingli, Jamie Alexandrou and Billy Rungay also scored as ACD got their 12th win of the league season.
They lead the standings because rivals Harold Hill dropped points. The East London had a rather tougher assignment as they travelled to third-placed Wakebury. Indeed, it was Wakebury who came out on top with a fine 6 – 2 victory over Harold Hill at the Nursery Sports Ground in the match I attended this weekend. Max Hall netted four goals for Matt Cardy’s side here, with Will Wheeler and substitute Brodie Horne netted minutes into his debut for the club. James Hughes and Harry Agombar’s free-kick got the goals for Hill though they also had two players dismissed and one more sent to the sin-bin late on. For more on this match, my report is available here: https://survivor16b.wordpress.com/2021/12/18/s21-22-match-report-wakebury-6-2-harold-hill-sat-18-dec-eofl/
Here is a look at the Division Two Table, in this 22-game season for clubs at this level.
I’d like to wish all the reders of this column and all involved in the Essex Olympian League a Happy Christmas & sincere best wishes for 2022.
