Takeley slipped to a second Essex Senior League loss in a row going down 2-0 at home to Wadham Lodge on Saturday.

Wadham’s Charlie Georgiou netted either side of half-time to secure the three points for Lodge.

It was a case of revenge for Lodge who had lost 2-0 at Station Road earlier in the month in the Essex Senior League Challenge Cup quarter-final.

Takeley return to action on Saturday as they face Ilford away at the Cricklefield Stadium before heading to Hullbridge Sports on Tuesday night.
