East London 6 Dunmow II 2
Dunmow seconds began the day on top of the league, but a
poor performance against their third place East London promotion rivals allowed them to steal
top spot.
An inability to clear the ball from the danger zone saw their usual frugal defence breached three times in the first half.
A short corner from Farr early in the second half temporarily narrowed the gap, but Dunmow failed to build on this when Owers squandered a chance and Tomalinson struck the post.
