Lowestoft Town v Walthamstow preview
Walthamstow take a third attempt to make the long journey to Lowestoft Town on Tuesday in the Isthmian League.
This fixture was originally meant to be played on Saturday 10 January and then rescheduled for 10 February. However, both games were called off due to waterlogged pitches.
Stow took on Tilbury on Saturday afternoon and claimed the three points in a 2-1 win. Tilbury captain Jack Hayes gave the visitors the lead in the first half, but Stow came out firing in the second half and deserved the victory for their performance. Brian Garzon was on the scoresheet twice from the penalty spot in the 55th and 95th minute.
Lowestoft were at home on Saturday, with Concord Rangers the visitors. The Beach Boys ran out victorious in a 3-1 win with goals from Sherquan Toussaint, Harrison Day and Khris Oti. Lowestoft did pull one back to 2-1 through Mitchell Belmar but it wasn’t enough to spark a comeback.
Stow haven’t faced Lowestoft since the 2023/2024 season, where Lowestoft were crowned league champions. Stow travelled up to the seaside in November 2023, under the management of Nicky Ironton and were pipped by a late winner from the hosts. Jordon Watson gave Stow the lead just 12 minutes into the first half, before Harvey Sayer’s penalty in the second half drew the game level. Olly Sotoyinbo regained Stow’s lead which only lasted five minutes thanks to a Jake Reed equaliser. Harvey Sayer’s second of the game was the match winner in the 90th minute.
The reverse fixture took place in early February, with the points being shared in a 2-2 draw at Wadham Lodge. Bilal Sayoud got Stow’s opener just two minutes in but were pegged back two minutes after via Harvey Sayer. Adam Hipperson gave Lowestoft the lead on the 17th minute, before Kymani Thomas’ debut goal on the half hour mark was all that was needed for a point.
