Boro Beaten In Second Friendly

A late goal from Enfield's Luke Hirst - it came in the 83rd minute - won this game for the Essex Senior League champions.

Romford made changes from Saturday with Michael Turner starting at the back alongside Freddie Tanden, while Jamie Hursit, Hassan Nalbant, and Jake Anderson were among a number of second half substitutes.

Enfield drew first blood through Solomon Ofori after 29 minutes when he chased down a long through ball taking advantage when Boro keeper Eman Olajide's clearance cannoned off him to steer the ball into the empty net.

Charlie Morris levelled the scores after 39 minutes with a low shot into the bottom left corner from the edge of the box after Kris Newby's free-kick had been partially cleared.

Romford fell foul of Enfield's offside trap on numerous second half occasions, but were creating good chances, the best of which saw both Hassan Nalbant and Kris Newby fire shots into the side netting.

Jake Anderson was called into action to make a smart low save after 65 minutes, but with just seven minutes remaining the visitors won the game with a volley from 18 yards by Hirst.

Next up for Boro is an away game on Saturday against Harold Hill FC at Henderson Sports Ground, Kenilworth Avenue, kick-off 1pm.
