Cox scores eight as Haringey put twelve past Hamlets, Bowers beat Bari whilst there are wins for Hullbridge and Basildon

Premier Division
Bowers & Pitsea 3 London Bari 1

Bowers ended their league season with another win to finish the season as runners up with 92 points and a goal difference of plus 99. The hosts led when a great run out of defence from Mike Finneran saw him play a one/two with Whitnall whose shot was fumbled and allowed Luka Frankis to follows up and score. Bari levelled from the spot but saw the hosts re take the lead as Harley Kee stabbed home Bowers second. Lewis Manor nodded home a Simon-Parson cross to complete the scoring and end the league season on a good note. Bari end the season in 15th.

Haringey Borough 12 Tower Hamlets 0
An amazing eight goals from Darrell Cox helped Champions Haringey to a mammoth 12-0 win over Tower Hamlets at Coles Park to take their final points tally to 103 points and a goal difference of plus 99, the same as Bowers. The hosts led after 13 seconds thanks to Darrell Cox finding the net and it was two for Haringey and a second for Darrell Cox in the 12th minute. Leroy Griffiths then got Haringey's third in the 17th minute and Darrell Cox duly wrapped up his hat trick in the 20th minute. Haringey made it five in the 22nd minute through Daniel Aristidou before Darrell Cox grabbed his fourth and Haringey's sixth on 27 minutes seeing them with a 6-0 half time lead. Dean Fenton then netted Haringey's seventh in the 58th minute and then things got worse (if that's possible) for Hamlets when they lost their goalkeeper due to an injury and, with no subs left, had to see out the remaining 30+ minutes with ten men. The Champions were in ruthless form though and Darrell Cox netted his fifth of the afternoon to put Haringey eight goals clear and then he completed his double hat trick getting the hosts ninth of the afternoon. Cox then got his seventh of the afternoon making it 10-0 on the 87th minute before Joshua Willer got Haringey's eleventh goal in the 88th minute followed by another for Darrell Cox, his eighth, in the 89th minute to complete a incredible afternoon for him and his side. Hamlets finished in 17th after this debacle.

Hullbridge Sports 3 Greenhouse London 0
Sports ended their season on a high after a comfortable win over Greenhouse London at Lower Road. The hosts had a chance on 12 minutes when Bobby Barker shot from a tight angle but saw his effort go for a corner and then had to do some defending themselves on 21 minutes as they got away with a Greenhouse chance only because of a last ditch tackle from Perry Dunn. Dunn then put Sports ahead on 34 minutes which saw them to a 1-0 half time lead. Five minutes into the second half Sports Charlie Little blasted over the bar from close range but on 73 minutes it was 2-0 to the hosts when Luke Hornsley netted after a great ball from Aaron Hunwicks. With four minutes to go Rory Clark completed the scoring to make it 3-0 and see Hullbridge to their best ever points total of 74. Greenhouse finish second from bottom and will hope that the FA decide not to relegate more than one side from the ESL.

Takeley 1 Basildon United 2
The Bees won their final game of the season with a 2-1 win over Takeley at Station Road, seeing them finish the season in 12th. Takeley's loss sees their chances of a top ten finish all but evaporate and look likely to stay where they are in 11th. They finish their season on Thursday evening at home to Clapton.

Reserve Division
Barking 3 Thurrock 2
