Attendance 85
Edgware and Brentwood shared the spoils in this clash of two sides who were promoted from step 5 as champions last season.
In a very tight first period neither side really troubled either keeper, Johnny Moore came closest for the home side while Craig Gillam was denied in a one on one with Darren Bonfield for the visitors.
The second period was a lot more open affair with the action swinging from one end to another. It was to be the visitors who would take the lead Steve King with a powerful drive on 60 minutes.
Edgware pushed forward in search of an equalizer and were rewarded on 74 minutes when Ben Hayden’s deft header found Ben Cain who made no mistake from close range.

Brentwood nearly grabbed all 3pts at the death, Gavin Hart clearing a goalbound effort off the line, followed by a piledriver from Gillam which was acrobatically pushed against the post by Bonfield.
Despite not winning in the last five matches, four of which have been drawn, Edgware go back to the top of Ryman 1 North, courtesy of the point gained and the fact that Dartford who were level on points were beaten 1-2 at home by Bury Town.
AFC Sudbury who were also level with Edgware before the start of play were not in action and now have a game in hand over the Wares.
Bury Town are the visitors to the White Lion Ground on Tuesday night, the Suffolk side are in 5th place but just 2pts behind the leaders Edgware.
Match rating 4 out of 5
