COMBINED COUNTIES LEAGUE

RAYNERS LANE are five points clear at the top of Premier North after a 4-3 win over Chalfont St Peter.

Their 12th successive home win in the league came courtesy of goals from Troy Perez-Duah, Rio Connell, Josh Williams and a Frank Keita spot-kick conversion for their late winner.

The visitors had led through Craig Mathieson and Sam Wood before the hosts pulled level and then took the lead, only for Jamie Ovington to equalise.

Edgware & Kingsbury drew 1-1 at home to Wallingford & Crowmarsh. Evan Aitchison gave the visitors the lead in the first half before captain Eoin Kane levelled after the break.

In Premier South, Jersey Bulls were held to a goalless draw by visitors Redhill, who surrendered their 100 per cent away record in the league this season.

However, a stoppage-time incident saw home keeper Pierce Roche shown a red card after bringing down Redhill substitute Tom Harland-Goddard when he was through on goal. Substitute keeper Luke Watson came on to take over between the sticks.

Sheerwater pulled off the shock result of the day when they beat hosts Horley Town 2-1 as Elliott York and George Sellick found the back of the net for what was only their fourth win of the season. The win lifted them off the foot of the table and sent Colliers Wood United, who were without a game, to the bottom.

Sandhurst Town returned from

Abbey Rangers with a 2-1 win, courtesy of strikes from Ben Harries and Ewan Lynch.

Cobham salvaged a 2-2 draw at home to Balham who’d led with goals from Luke Hedges and Tom Reid before Nick Osborn bagged a brace to pull level.

In the only game played in Division One, FC Deportivo Galicia were held to a 1-1 draw at home to Rising Ballers Kensington.

Division One Bedfont have signed attacking midfielder Evander Lopes and full-back Rolly Ilunga-Badiubanga. Lopes has previously played for Leatherhead, New Salamis, Abbey Rangers, FC Romania, Sutton Common Rovers, Guildford City and Redhill, while Ilunga-Badiubanga has turned out for Staines Town and more recently, Chalfont St Peter.
