National League

BARNET 2 Solihull Moors 0

A brace from Wes Fonguck capped an excellent performance by The Bees in their first ever meeting with Solihull Moors. John Still made three changes recalling both Dan Sweeney and Josh Walker while giving a debut to new loan signing Manny Duku. After a tight beginning it was Walker who had the first chance of the game Moors keeper Ryan Boot doing well to block his 15th minute effort. At the other end Mark Cousins denied Adi Yussuf turning his goal bound effort over for a corner. Barnet dominated the second period with Craig Robson and Zak Jules both in outstanding form. The home side took the lead when Walkers sharp turn in the area set up Fonguck for a finish from six yards. The second goal arrived in injury time Solihull gifting a quick free kick in their own half to substitute Jack Barham who set up the unmarked Fonguck to complete the job.

HRB Sport Coming Up …..

HRB Sport is back on air this weekend to bring you full coverage of our local fixtures and the wider sporting action.
Barnet face an important match at The Hive after 4 games without a win. Manny Duku has joined the club on loan from Cheltenham Town until the end of the year. 11 performances for the Robins this season followed a record breaking 39 goals for Hayes and Yeading last year. The Dutch striker is available for today’s visit of Solihull Moors.
Boreham Wood’s on loan goalkeeper Ellery Balcombe has retained his place in the England Under 20s squad to face Italy and the Czech Republic.
Hendon produced a disappointing display in the FA Cup but retain their place in the competition following a 1-1 draw with Lancing. Shaquile Hippolyte-Patrick gave the Greens hope of victory in the 24th minute at Silver Jubilee Park but Jack Langford’s equaliser with 13 left means the teams replay at Culver Park on Sunday.
After failing to register a win in September, Potters Bar started the new month with a welcome three points at Brightlingsea Regent. Dernell Wynter scored the only goal on the stroke of half time which lifts the Scholars into 9th, two points off the top 6.
Wingate & Finchley are searching for a new manager after parting company with Keith Rowland during the week. After two record high league finishes in the previous two seasons the Northern Irishman felt he had taken the club as far as he could. The 2016-17 season saw the Blues finish in 5th on 75 points however this campaign been a struggle, and Rowland’s final match was a 3-2 defeat at Bishops Stortford. Marc Weatherstone and Chace O’Neill were the goalscorers leaving the team just one point above the bottom three.
Both our Spartan sides achieved creditable away draws in midweek. Sam Lyon was the goal hero as Hadley secured a 1-1 result at top 5 Colney Heath while Edgware shared the spoils in a goalless encounter at 4th placed Oxhey Jets.
