Edgware w

Edgware found the tide out at Tilbury this afternoon as they failed to beat the lowly Dockers in a goal less stalemate. With Dartford and AFC Sudbury drawing in their top of the table clash, a win would have moved the Wares up to second place but once again the team could not turn chances into goals and only goal’s win matches writes Gavin Shaw.

Edgware failed to capitalize on a first half performance in which Greg Ngoyi and Denis Maharajan saw their hard work come to nothing in front of the home goal. Marharajan, on his return to first team action after a long lay off' was the instigator behind the Wares best moves and his substitution early in the second period culminated in the visitors running out of idea's as well as chances.

The Dockers created little in the way of any real threat though not through any lack of effort, Rob Blackburne's goal the quieter of the two keepers.

Despite finishing the match with 3 strikers on the pitch the closest Edgware came to breaking the deadlock was late in the match when Kevin Chakaodza effort was inches off target, as Tilbury's defense frustrated Edgware coupled with the Wares inefficiency in front of goal resulting in a 13th draw of the season.

The result means Edgware drop one place to 4th level on points with AFC Sudbury and Ware though they both have a superior goal difference as well as games in hand on the Wares.

League cup action next as Edgware makes the long journey to Suffolk to take on AFC Sudbury with a place in the Isthmian League cup semi finals the prize.
