Ronnie Watson is still in plaster after breaking a bone is his right foot against Leyton last week and will remain so for another three weeks. Further x-rays will then determine the state of the injury and how long his recovery time will be.

The new batch of fixtures for the coming month are now available on the website. One interesting stat is that, if calculations are correct, after the end of October there will only be 5 more away league fixtures for Enfield Town this season...

Enfield Town 2 Sawbridgeworth Town 2
League Cup

Enfield Town came from behind twice - the second after being reduced to 10 men - to maintain their unbeaten run in league and cup games. Kevin Riley netted in the closing moments after Jamie Morris had earlier scored from a penalty. Town were missing key players for this match, so a good result and entertainment for the 158 crowd who attended.

Enfield Town break Goldsdown Road attendance record

Our crowd last week was the biggest in the Essex Senior League since 1976, when Billericay played Brentwood on 12th May in front of 887. Jimmy Greaves was in the Brentwood team and the programme mentions that he 'added 150 to every gate around the league'. In that season, and 1976/77, Billericay regularly got a gate of around the 500 mark. The best home gate in any competition involving an Essex Senior League team was 3,250 for the Canvey v. Tiverton FA Vase semi-final (don't know the year). Our crowd of 516 broke Brimsdown's ground record. Info obtained from 'Centre Spot', vol 15, no.6 (The ESL weekly bulletin)

Barkingside 1 Enfield Town 4
Essex Senior League

Enfield Town continued their early-season winning streak with a comfortable win at Oakside stadium this afternoon. On a rather suspect playing surface Town got into their stride early with Danny Clarke latching on to a long clearance from the back to lob the 'keeper for the opening goal after only 2 minutes more... and table

Enfield Town 3 Leyton 1
Essex Senior League

Football is back in the borough of Enfield and in some style too. Enfield Town overcame a spirited Leyton side to win 3-1 against 10 men and a stand-in keeper, after Leyton's keeper was dismissed in the second half. 516 attended the game, which is a massive financial shot in the arm for Enfield Town and a big thumbs up for all who believed that getting a side back in Enfield would bring back the fans. Top of the ESL as well, which cannot be too bad either.

8th September 2001

Southend Manor 2 Enfield Town 2
Essex Senior League

A well-earned come-from-behind point against another side in form at the moment. Southend Manor took a two goals lead on the back of some hesitant Town defending, but the second half was better for the visitors, with both Danny Clarke and John Ridout netting towards the end. Match report posted.

Eton Manor 1 Enfield Town 7
League Cup

Another fine away win for Enfield Town - this time in the League Cup. Much in the same manner as last Saturday. Though Manor took the lead in the first few minutes, they contrived to miss another penalty and then conceeded another that was converted by Stuart Snowdon for the Town. By that time the game had reverted back to last Saturday's fare and Enfield Town added further goals either side of the half time whistle, capped with a Manor sending off made it a very enjoyable journey back to Enfield.

Barkingside fixture added

Enfield Town will be playing Barkingside away on 15th September 2001

Eton Manor 1 Enfield Town 4
Essex Senior League

Enfield Town went top of the Essex Senior League after an emphatic second half performance at Wadham Lodge. Eton Manor had pegged the Town back to a goal each, but a super individual goal by Jamie Morris and a Danny Clarke second half double helped Town to the top of the table, with opponents competing in the FA Cup.
