PROKIT UK Essex Olympian League

Premier Division

Buckhurst Hill remain rooted in the middle of the pack following a 4-2 defeat at Frenford Senior on Saturday.

Defeat leaves Hill in ninth place, clear of the relegation zone but unlikely to make a sudden charge toward the upper reaches of the division.

Myles Whittingham and an own goal were the Buckhurst Hill scorers.

Division Two

Second-placed Snaresbrook failed to enhance their title hopes by drawing 2-2 with Rochford Town.

Snaresbrook sit 13 points shy of table-toppers Toby's points total but do have four games in hand.

Ryan remain rooted to the bottom of the division after succumbing 4-1 to Benfleet.

Despite their hapless form, Ryan only trail second-bottom Debden Sports by four points, though they have played two games more.

Ricky White netted Ryan's consolation strike.

It was also an afternoon to forget for Leyton Orient Advanced Soccer Schools (LOASS), who were beaten 7-1 by Lakeside.

Defeat sees LOASS' cushion over sixth-placed Lakeside cut to a point as a result.
