Essex Alliance Football League

Premier Division

May & Baker E.C. 'A' suffered a potentially terminal blow to their title hopes on Saturday, losing 2-1 at home to Chingford Athletic in their final league fixture.

Defeat leaves May & Baker top of the table by six points still but Athletic, hot on their heels in second, have three games still to play and can depose them with two wins thanks to their superior goal difference.

Michael Mignot and substitute Lee Doyle found the back of the net for Chingford to seal victory.

Third-placed Jolof Sports Club picked up a hard-fought 4-2 win at Newham Reserves but know they cannot climb the table.

With two games to play, Jolof sit 11 points off of Chingford Athletic in second.

Melbourne Sports cruised to victory over St Francis and could still finish in third position.

A brace from John Shubert was added to by Ryan Lincoln as Sports eased to a comfortable victory.

Eastside Rangers (London Community) twice overcame Chingford Town 1-0 in a double header.

However, despite picking up six points Eastside could only climb to ninth and can still be caught by St Francis, who are a place below them.

On Tuesday, St Francis were awarded an away win at Chingford Town after their hosts were unable to field a starting XI.

Eighth-placed Glendale took a big step towards safety on Wednesday by winning 3-2 at home to fifth-placed St Johns Deaf.
