Takeley have gone four Essex Senior League games without a win after consecutive losses to Ilford and Eton Manor.

Saturday saw Marc Das’ men go down 2-0 to Ilford.

On Tuesday Takeley hoped to return to winning ways.

Despite two goals from striker Charlie Cole, the home side, who had Nick Barrett sent off for collecting two yellow cards, went down 3-2 after a late winner from Manor’s hat-trick hero Josh Sykes.
