Walthamstow travel to Mildenhall Town this weekend in the last away game of the season.
Stow were in Suffolk on Saturday when they faced relegated Brantham Athletic and snatched the victory in the 93rd minute in a 3-2 win. Brian Garzon opened the scoring in the 20th minute before Reuben Chinnery equalised four minutes later. Charlie Heatley scored his 10th goal of the season for the Stow on the half hour mark, but Brantham were level once again through a well worked set piece ending in Lucas Wells tapping home from close range. Brian Garzon scored his second of the game in injury time to pick up three points right at the death.
Mildenhall travelled to first place Maldon & Tiptree where the Jammers got three important points in a 3-1 win. The hosts were two up through Malachi Napa and Freddie Sears before Mildenhall got on the scoresheet via George Chenery in the 53rd minute. However, it wasn’t enough to spark a comeback, and Maldon wrapped it up five minutes from time thanks to Dylan Williams.
Previous meetings
The previous meeting between Stow and Mildenhall was meant to be played in November but was called off due to a waterlogged pitch. The rescheduled game took place in early December where Stow ended their winless run in a 3-0 victory. Chris Manangu scored the first goal of the evening in the first half, and it remained 1-0 until the last ten minutes of the second half. Stow were given two penalties in the space of four minutes, which were both calmly dispatched by Callum Ibe, securing the three points for the Stow.
The first meeting between the two teams was in the 2001-2 FA Vase.
It was a battling performance from Walthamstow (then Leyton Pennant), who were already depleted by injury and suspension, and found themselves a goal down in the first minute when David Bastian lost the ball to Aidan Salmons whose quick pass to Rob Allis left the striker with an easy chance to slot home under Russell Ling.
Pennant then tried to force the game but many of their passes were wayward, and Mildenhall changed to the long pump-up field.
Pennant pressed forward and Billy Cove and Paul Tresadern began to get half chances. Things got even worse for Pennant when Tresadern went off injured after 43 minutes followed moments later by Carl Brown.
On 52 minutes home-keeper Russell Ling was fouled and taken to hospital with a gapping
head wound. Midfielder Neil Tilly – who wore contact lenses when playing – went in goal.
But somehow, this sparked the Pennant into greater efforts which carried into the second half
which they totally dominated. Yet it took until the 87th minute to level, when Scott DeGaris sent the game to extra time with a brilliant volley.
Pennant couldn’t hold on for penalties any longer, and with ten extra time minutes played Vinnie Long who capitalised on a through pass with three Mildenhall players seemingly in offside positions.
