Hayes & Yeading Miss Out – Ducks Hit Seven

Just three games went ahead in the Evo-Stik League South East on Easter Monday due to the wet.

Second-placed Hayes & Yeading United managed to get their game on at the SKYEx Community Stadium against struggling neighbours Hanwell Town but missed the opportunity to move to the top of the table after being held to a 2-2 draw.

Hanwell led at the break, courtesy of a 32nd minute Dan Fleming goal.

Manny Duku equalised on 64 minutes and then looked to have won the game for Hayes & Yeading when he bagged his second after a bit of pin-ball in the box with less than 2 minutes remaining.

However, an absolute `worldy` from Mergin Qarri in the 3rd minute of stoppage time earned the visitors a point.

Chalfont St Peter moved into the top six at Cambridge City`s expense after a 2-0 home win over Northwood.

Recent signing Brian Haule broke the deadlock 5 minutes into the second half to give the Saints the lead.

And just 3 minutes later, Ryan Haugh doubled their advantage – and one they kept.

The only other game to receive the referee`s nod of approval to go ahead was at Chesham United where Aylesbury United entertained Thame United, who started the day eight points in front of the Ducks in mid-table.

It ended being a rout for the Ducks` former landlords in a 7-2 win.

But it was Thame who took the lead in the 3rd minute through Jamie Essex, but goals from youngsters Ben Seaton after 11 minutes and Harry Jones 9 minutes later saw the Ducks take the lead.

Two goals in 4 minutes either side of half-time from Aaron Berry extended the lead, before Jack Wood on 64 minutes and then Sonny French on 76 minutes made it 6-1.

Lynton Goss pulled another goal back for the visitors on 83 minutes before Seaton added his second and the Duck’s seventh in stoppage time.
