Football enthusiasts will be treated to an exciting match as Enfield Borough take on Cannons Wood in the Thurlow Nunn League. The game, scheduled for a 7:45pm kick-off on Tuesday, 20th August 2024, promises to be a closely contested encounter, with both teams eager to establish themselves in the league this season.
Enfield Borough FC
Enfield Borough enter this match with a mixed bag of results from their opening fixtures. Their season started on a disappointing note with a narrow 1-0 defeat away to Rayleigh Town. However, they quickly bounced back with an impressive 3-2 victory against May & Baker, where Ioan Dumitru Berende and Saxon Lawrence-Edwards played pivotal roles in securing the win. Lawrence-Edwards, in particular, has been in fine form, scoring two goals in that match and continuing his scoring streak in their next game with the decisive goal in a 1-0 win over Brimsdown at home.
Despite this early promise, Enfield Borough have struggled to maintain their momentum, suffering defeats in their last two outings. They lost 2-1 away to Burnham Ramblers, where Mustapha managed to find the back of the net, and then endured a heavy 5-2 defeat against AS London. In that match, Marcos Magunga and substitute Adem James Yilmaz provided some consolation with their goals, but it was not enough to prevent a comprehensive loss. As they return to their home ground, Enfield Borough will be determined to rediscover their winning form and put their recent setbacks behind them.
Cannons Wood FC
Cannons Wood, like their opponents, have experienced a season of highs and lows so far. Their campaign began with a disappointing 5-2 loss at home to Basildon Town, despite Gabriel Odigili’s efforts, who scored both goals for Cannons Wood. However, they quickly turned things around with a 3-2 victory away to NW London, where Odigili was again on the scoresheet alongside Michael Paton and Dougie Albert Yates.
Cannons Wood’s form continued to improve with a solid 4-2 win at home against AS London. Goals from Austin Junior Nkwonta, Gabriel Odili, Ishmael Saidy, and Reece White sealed the victory, showcasing their attacking prowess. However, their inconsistency was highlighted once more when they fell to a 5-1 defeat away to Harlow Town, a result that has left them seeking stability in their performances.
As these two teams prepare to face off, there is much at stake. Enfield Borough will be eager to use their home advantage to bounce back from their recent losses and climb the league table. Meanwhile, Cannons Wood will be looking to prove that they can be more than just a team of flashes of brilliance, striving for the consistency needed to make a mark in the league.
