Ongar 6
May & Baker 0
(Essex Three)
ONGAR showed what might have been this season with an excellent win over already promoted May & Baker.
The hosts were forced to field a number of veterans including Jeff Blake, 37, Andy Surridge, 44, Kevin Spray, 46, Graham Bell, 40, John Berry, 42, Steve Everson, 40 and Ian Hemming, 43, because of injuries and put in a determined performance.
In an evenly matched contest the hosts ran out narrow 6-0 winners, thanks to a penalty in each half from Peter Hovell.
The results left Ongar joint third in the table and five points behind second placed May & Baker.
Skipper Dave Blake said: "We showed once again that we can compete against one of the top teams in the league.
"When we look back on the season it is disappointing that a few results have slipped away from us through no fault of our own."
