HARLOW Town’s lead at the top of the Eastern Counties Division South was reduced to six points as Hackney Wick won on the road on Saturday.

Harlow Town were not playing but Hackney travelled to bottom-side St Margaretsbury and won 2-0. They also gained a point against Coggeshall Town in the week. This leaves them on 52 points.

There are still fifteen games to go and so everything to play for.

Harlow Town return to league action on Boxing Day, when they play away at NW London.

Harlow Town and Hackney are set to play each other much later in the season.
