The award this week at Loughton goes to The Wheelers who have been in superb form of late as they keep hot on the heels of the current league leaders Betty Swallocks which makes next week a huge game between the two sides.

Alex POPE set his side up well once again tonight, Harrison JARDINE was the star of the show tonight as he was like a bowling ball up and down the pitch tonight.

Jordan CHILDS, Joey GENT, Harrison JARDINE and Azdean KAABECHE scored the all important goals.

CHILDS scored one of the best goals tonight with a ridiculous finish!

BGF 5-1 DIORS

JACK HARRIS netted the first goal with a brilliant solo effort (when does he ever pass?!) before having to visit A&E just after half time. JAZZ HEATH-SAWYERS slotted the second goal away at the Goalkeepers front post shortly after to give BGF a 2-0 lead. Diors piled the pressure on the BGF goal after this but some solid defensive displays from ALFIE HARRIS and JOE CLOAKE kept them frustrated.

Diors pulled a goal back a few minutes before half time with some neat play on the edge of the box. Any further chances were kept out superbly by JAMES CROWE as BGF hung on to their 1 goal lead.

With around 10 minutes left of the game Man of the match MAX HALCROW finished brilliantly to regain BGF’s 2 goal lead. He then went on to assist the 4th and 5th goals on the counter attack as Diors continued to struggle to get past BGF’s defence and GK.

The 4th and 5th goals were scored by the HARRIS brothers. ALFIE HARRIS put the fourth in after a very disciplined defensive performance. BEN HARRIS controlled the game from minute 1 and finished the game off with a lovely goal just a couple of minutes before the final whistle meaning BGF handed out the first defeat to DIORS with a resounding 5-1 win.

Man of the match – Max Halcrow

The award this week as we hit the Christmas and New year break goes to Valley Park FC who put in a very impressive performance in the local derby as they beat Forest 6-0 in a superb team performance.

Reiss TISSON was superb in his sides 3-2 win tonight at Chigwell!

You would think he would be tired after helping out in a couple of the earlier fixtures but he was saving the best till last for his side!

Not only did TISSON get a couple of assists he then jumped in goal and with his side down to 5 players he went on a mazy running from his own area which included a nutmeg and amazing feet on the way before hitting a delicious strike into the top bins!
Unreal goal and the best scored by a keeper that we can recall!

Well done Reiss
