Waders go goal crazy, FC win again and United keep pressure on
Biggleswade Town struck nine goals in two games this week as they continued their pursuit of a top five finish in SPL Division One Central.
Not content with winning 5-1 at Aylesbury United on Saturday, they then ran out 4-2 victors at Flackwell Heath on Tuesday night to cement third spot in the league standings.
Saturday’s game saw five different goalscorers to the damage, as Manny Dahie, Dan Newton, Cyrus Babaie, Josh Steele and Harrison Rookard hit the target, a late Aylesbury goal nothing but a consolation.
On Tuesday, Josh Steele headed Town ahead inside just two minutes, while Rookard struck again and Coree Wilson scored a brace.
The Waders now prepare to go to second-from-bottom Rayners Lane on Saturday.
*Biggleswade FC were also in good form as they won 4-1 at London Lions on Saturday. They are level on points with Town in fourth spot in the play-off battle.
Alex Marsh and Temi Akinbusoye scored twice each in Saturday’s win and FC now prepare to host Leverstock Green at the Eyrie on Saturday.
*Biggleswade United made it a clean sweep for the town’s sides as they kept up the pressure on league leaders Winslow by beating Crawley Green 2-0 on Saturday.
And with Winslow losing 2-0 at home to Sawbridgeworth, it means United are just three points behind the leaders who have a game in hand, although Haringey Borough have snuck into second spot having played one game more than United.
Liam Smyth and Robbie Buchanan scored the goals to see off Crawley Green, and boss Kane Dougherty was delighted with the result.
He said: “Crawley Green are fighting for their lives but had four or five new players involved so it was a tough game, and whilst we weren’t at our best on the ball, the work rate was there and it was another clean sheet for us.”
United host Risborough Rangers on Saturday then AFC Welwyn next Tuesday night.
