Essex Senior League cup

Tuesday 30th November 2004

Enfield Town exploded into life within the first 7 minutes of the game and lead 2-0. The Manor caught in possession again, allowed The Towner's to hit them early. The first in 5 minutes from Peter Davies after a great ball from Allen. The second virtually from the restart, this time Allen going solo and from 20 yards sent a cracking shot over the outstretched arms of Carl Prince. The Manor refused to lay back and attacked The Towner's, Prosper Lobe shooting just of the bar from a free kick. Two new debuts tonight saw Manors Steve Reading and Chrissie Hammond get involved in the action, Hammond coming close when he broke free but jugged offside!


The second half Manor dominated the game coming close on several occasions, Chris Hammond being replaced by Lewis Jones and Ben Smith then replaced Hall in the Town goal for his debut appearance. Sammy Marks really on form tonight and causing problems for the Towner's down the right hand side. 63rd minute and a Manor cornerl, fell to the feet of Lewis Jones who took his shot well and scored 2-1 to the Towner's.

Enfield Town coming Close with Pamplin using is strength and experience to unsettle the Manor defence.

75th minute saw Manor's Bradley Mills send a great ball over to Marks on the right, Marks making ground and sent the ball onto the feet of 17 year old Steve Whitelock and from 10 yards out looped it over the head of Smith 2-2. The game hotting up and both teams looking for the winner, Lobe came close when a scrambled ball in the Towns area was palmed away by Smith. Enfield Town had their chances but failed to convert. In the final few minutes Marks broke free down the right hand-side and running towards goal virtually unchallenged mis fired his shot wide of the goal.

The game finished 2-2. Great come back by the Manor, both teams playing without key players, but managed to pull off a cracking and entertaining game for the frozen crowd.

Some excellent performances tonight from the Manor, young George Fullbrook had another start tonight, looking much more comfortable on the ball and should do his confidence the world of good. Lewis Jones & Steve Whitelock both on the score sheet. Bradley Mills another fabulous performance will be giving The Manor Manager Kirk Whitelock team selection headaches as the regular first team players start to return from suspension and injury. Steve Reading and Tony Barnes look comfortable at the back and Prosper Lobe who at only 18 years of age is proving to be a real sensation in Midfield. The Manor can take pride from the performance tonight.

With Quinn, Morritt, Mitchell, Barrett, Richards, Docherty, Felice and AJ all waiting to come back from suspension or injury the Manor are looking strong to start rising up the league table and at full strength will be an outfit not to be taken for granted.

Manor Man of the Match goes to Sammy Marks proved once and for all he is a class player.
