SCEFL First Division
Lewisham Borough 1-4 Bridon Ropes
SC Thamesmead 3-1 Crockenhill
Lewisham Borough fell to their 11th defeat in a row after Bridon Ropes left the Ladywell Arena with the three points after winning 4-1. The visitors were in the lead as early as the 2nd minute through Matt Dennis before Nathan Medley doubled the lead with 10 minutes on the clock. Just before the break Medley scored again before Nathan Simpson wrapped the game up deep in to the second half. There was just enough time for Jordan Anderson to score a consolation goal for Lewisham but with defeat they remain in 18th position. Bridon Ropes are 5th but now level on points with 4th placed Holmesdale.
SC Thamesmead came from behind to beat Crockenhill 3-1 at Bayliss Avenue. Charlie Brett scored a surprise opener for the visitors in the 7th minute which Steve Weatherley cancelled out 20 minutes later for the hosts. With the scores level at half-time there was potential for Crockenhill to grab their first points of the year but that possibility took a hit soon after the break when Josh Patrick put the home side 2-1 ahead from the spot. The win was confirmed for SC Thamesmead in the 72nd minute when Aaron Jeffery got their third and with victory they move in to 12th place. Crockenhill are now on a run of 15 defeats in a row and remain rooted to the bottom of the table.
