against the top of the league ,an inspired second half performance could not pull back the three goals to nil lead the visitors had at half time
. witham did start the game well but both john watson and lewis godbold shot wide in the early stages, but it was thamesmead that took the lead with a free kick on the edge of the area from which DEREK DUNCAN scored with a shot through the out strectched arms of peter haxell the witham keeper making his debut, watson tried a long shot for witham which went just wide , RICHARD BUTLER scored the second when a corner was headed down to him on the half hour, MICHEAL UWEZU scored the third with a long range effort.
witham improved some what after the break but failed to shoot at goal when the target was in sight , but did pull one back when DANNY EMMANUEL went on one of his runs beat numerous defenders and shot in, a shot from ryan charles hit the post, as the visitors were forced to defend ,had witham taken their chances this could have been a better report for witham town
