Enfield Town secured a crucial 3-0 victory with goals from Sam Youngs and Marcus Wyllie, maintaining their fifth position in the Isthmian League Premier Division – a playoff spot. This win ended a streak of five winless games, including two narrow defeats against promotion rivals, Hornchurch and Billericay Town.
Manager Gavin MacPherson was absent for personal reasons, leaving assistant manager Jon Nurse in charge for the match. The team overcame challenging pitch conditions to secure the much-needed win, with Nurse praising the team’s resilience and ability to capitalize on opportunities.
The match saw Enfield Town dominate the early exchanges, narrowly missing several scoring opportunities. A change in tactics at halftime shifted the momentum in their favor, leading to goals from Youngs and Wyllie to seal the victory. Despite a strong performance, defender Josh Okotcha suffered an injury and had to be substituted.
In contrast, Enfield suffered a 1-0 defeat to Maldon & Tiptree in the Isthmian League Division One North. George Smith’s early second-half goal secured the win for Maldon & Tiptree. Enfield Borough had no fixture this weekend, with both teams preparing for upcoming matches to continue their league campaigns.
