After half time Ridgeway levelled and then took a 3-2 lead. Shembo B equalised and Raynner S made it 4-3 but a late goal completed the scoring and a share of the spoils.

With the progression to a higher division Wadham came unstuck with their first defeat of the season. Having taken the lead from a Rayan Clarke strike they could have increased through William Hudson who shot wide.

Conor M and James C were in control at the back but in the second half Wadham went to sleep as they conceded two quick goals. Rayan had the opportunity to level but his shot hit the bar.

A super team performance overwhelmed Harold Hill in this one sided contest.

Going in three goals to the good at half time with the first from Max C, then Demitrius J and Dante M.

Luke P and MOM Rhys B were outstanding in defence.

A free kick from MOM Jack S met with a bullet header by Robert R for the third. A second for Jack C and the fifth before half time from Jamie G.

Wadham eased up in the second half which saw one remaining goal from hat-trick boy Jack C after a through ball from James W.
