Edgware were left to rue a Richard Morton penalty miss, as Enfield Town inflicted the Wares 3rd defeat of the season winning 1-0 at the White Lion Ground this afternoon.
In a highly entertaining match played in front of Edgware's largest crowd of the season, Enfield were quick out of the traps and on 7 minutes took the lead, after Koei Nyamah crossed for Michael Deane to head past Rob Blackburne in the Wares goal, the first goal the Wares had conceded in over 630 minutes of football.
Enfield wasted the chance to go 2-0 up on 16 minutes when Jason Fernee gave away a penalty, Jamie Nay’s spot kick crashing against the bar much to the Wares relief.
Edgware began to assert their authority, and just 3 minutes later, the Wares won a penalty after Adam Wallace was felled in the six yard box; Morton stepped up to take the spot kick but his shot was weak and wide of Andre Foster in the Enfield goal.
Either side had chances to score before the break, Blackburne being called upon to make a point blank save from Andy Jones, and Wallace and Kevin Chakaodza saw efforts go wide as the visitors went in holding the goal advantage.
The Second half saw more entertaining football from both sides, with Edgware turning the screw and creating a number of chances, Johnny Moore the creator behind a lot of what was good for the home side.
A fine move by Wallace down the left found Greg Ngoyi who failed to get his foot on the ball, as it ran to Morton who from just yards out missed a sitter!
The Visitors looked to hit Edgware on the break and Ricci Crace and Nymah were always dangerous thanks to the build up play of Michael Deane.
The Ware’s forwards were guilty of squandering more chances as time and time again the failed to get on the end of good work that the midfield had created, Steve Brady especially creating problems for the Enfield defense down the right wing.
Blackburne pulled off another fine save, this time pushing the ball around his right post, but as time ran out so did Edgware’s hopes of salvaging a point as they suffered their first home defeat of the campaign.
The result leaves Edgware in 4th place as Enfield move into 3rd, Dartford are the new leaders on 49pts, 2 pts ahead of Edgware, although the Wares have played 2 more matches then the Kent side.
Match rating 4 OUT OF 5
