Tuesday's Evo-Stik South, East Round-Up

The Sydenhams Football League (Wessex) champions found themselves trailing to goals from Manny Duku in the 15th and 34th minutes.

Steve Hutchings reduced the deficit 10 minutes after the restart and then Brett Poate equalised with what is becoming a trademark free-kick.

Fellow new boys Hartley Wintney are second after they won 2-1 at the Runnymede Stadium against out-of-form Egham Town.

Paul Hodges gave the visitors a 19th minute lead that he doubled 8 minutes into the second half.

Brendan Matthew replied for the Sarnies, but it wasn`t until the 88th minute.

Ashford Town (Middx) won the derby at Chestnut Avenue against Northwood in emphatic fashion.

The Ash Trees ran out 7-1 winners, being three-up at the break with a Mark Bitmead hat-trick.

Bitmead added his own and Ashford`s fourth 10 minutes after the break and, after Harry Newman had reduced the arrears on the hour-mark, a Jabir Laraba brace on 70 and 85 minutes made it 6-1, with Romario Jonas adding a seventh in stoppage time.

Northwood had been reduced to ten-men on 83 minutes when Marcus Rose was sent-off for two yellow card offences.

Kempton Rovers were comfortable 4-0 Hillgrounds winners against Aylesbury United.

Jake Newman bagged a quickfire brace after the break following a goalless first half and then goals in the final 7 minutes from Sam Johnson and Nathan Tshikuna wrapped up victory for the Walnut Boys.

Fleet Town went into their game against Uxbridge at Calthorpe Park having failed to win in seven games and having scored only 4 goals.

But they hammered the Reds 6-0 to earn their first three points.

Hero of the night was Farnborough loanee Pat Ruzicka, who netted a second half hat-trick.

Sam Pekun and Matt Bunyan had given Fleet a 2-0 lead at the break, Ruzicka then bagged his first two on the hour-mark and then 7 minutes later from the penalty spot, although he missed a chance to complete his hat-trick when Paul McCarthy saved his second spot-kick.

Eight minutes from time, Uxbridge sub Anthony Thomas was penalised for handball and was shown a red card as Fleet got their third penalty of the night.

This time, Ruzicka was denied the chance for his hat-trick and it was given to Josh Baines who scored and it was 5-0 to Fleet with 8 minutes left.

But he wasn`t to be denied and he took the matchball home with a third in the 87th minute.

It was a night of `firsts` as Hanwell Town and Aylesbury FC mirrored Fleet`s achievement by also recording their first three-point hauls.

Hanwell got off the nil-point mark away from home too, winning 1-0 at Chalfont St Peter, courtesy of a 25th minute Callum Wright effort.

The Moles were 3-1 home winners over Marlow, whose Allen Bossman gave them an 18th minute lead.

Devante Stanley finally broke the deadlock in the 89th minute and Joel Norris wrapped up victory with the Eagles second 4 minutes into stoppage time.

Beaconsfield Town won 2-1 at newcomers Thame United, taking a 13th minute lead through Luke Neville and then winning it with a 70th minute Jordan Ajanlekoko goal after Ellis Hercules had equalised 5 minutes earlier.

A goal from Ryan Sharman after 10 minutes sealed Cambridge City`s win at Sharpenhoe Road against Barton Rovers.
