Wanderers on Brink of League Title with Landmark Win

Wanderers on Brink of League Title with Landmark Win

Keith Woolfson14 Mar 2024 - 08:57

The Wanderers defeated closest rivals Rotherfield Vets 6-3 to all but secure the 2023-24 D1E title in this key clash at the top of the table

A stunning first-half performance from Tom Shorrocks' Wanderers saw the side race into a 4-0 lead thanks to 2 goals from Sam Grace and a goal apiece from Andrew Hiblen and Dean Allen. Rotherfield broke through Wanderers defensive ranks on a handful of occasions but were unable to find a way past keeper Richard Smale.

In the second-half the away side let their guard down briefly and found themselves pegged back to 4-2, but further goals from Allen and Hiblen secured the win, despite a late consolation for Rotherfield.

Just a single point is needed from Wanderers' remaining 3 home games to give the club a first divisional win by any team since 2019, and a first league title in Veterans football since the 2013-14 season
