Waltham Abbey FC thrashed Wingate & Finchley in the Preliminary Round of the FA Cup 6-2. Wingate play in the Southern League, which is a division higher than the Essex Senior League where 'The Abbots' ply their trade.Early goals from HARRY ELMES and MARC SONTAG put our boys on the way to victory. SLOMA and STOLERMAN levelled the tie either side of half time and for the watching crowd, it was game-on but surprisingly this encouraged Abbey and not Wingate and the home team went ahead again after ELMES got his second.
A header from LEE WHITE and a 5th from DON PAGE made the game safe. In the final minutes WHITE scored his 2nd to round off a great afternoon for the boys.
Interestingly (for me anyway) ex-Addick Paul Linger captained Wingate & Finchley.
Abbey Team: Hickman, Burt, Page, Ayres, Forde, Underhill, White, Power (Connelly) , Sontag (Sapsford), Elmes, Rutherford (Ashman)
MoM: Harry Elmes
