Round Up Saturday 21 January 2017

The weather hit the Combined Counties League hard on Saturday with only two games reaching a conclusion.

Given that plenty of games in the Football League were called off it was impressive that any games were played at all, and Hartley Wintney took full advantage by hammering Chertsey 5-1 to extend their lead at the top of the table to 21 points. Impressively the runaway leaders have now hit 100 goals for the season, helped on Saturday by a hattrick from Sam Argent. The efforts of the club to get the game on were rewarded by a large crowd of 172. The other game played in the league saw CB Hounslow secure a 1-0 victory over Farnham to lift them up to 16th place. Farnham might consider themselves unlucky to have come away with nothing but the home side can be delighted with their defensive efforts.

Sadly the icy weather has continued into midweek,affecting nearly all the planned matches. The only game to reach a conclusion was at Spelthorne Sports who beat Badshot Lea by three goals to two, the three points enabling Spelthorne to climb four places in the table

Wednesday evening's match in the Premier Challenge Cup between Guildford City and Raynes Park Vale has also fallen foul of the conditions and has been postponed.

In Division One Cove will be devastated after they looked certain to secure only a 3rd win of the season when 3-0 up against Epsom Athletic, only for the game to be abandoned after 45 minutes.
