In a hard game at Barking last Saturday we moved into the lead after eight minutes when a superbly executed move culminated in Rod Haider running on to the ball to lash home our first goal.

Bobby Wilson made it two immediately after half-time when he cut in from the left wing to fire in a great shot.

Five minutes later, following a free kick the ball was handled in the area and Barking made no mistake with the resulting penalty kick to complete the scoring for the afternoon.

Mickey Cooper, who must be enjoying one of his best spells ever, turned in another fine performance and seems to be equally happy whether played in defence or attack.
