TEN-MAN BLUES WIN AWAY AT WEALDSTONE FC

Wingate kept up their 100% record with an away win over rivals Wealdstone, despite playing with ten men for 75 minutes. An early double for Leon Smith was topped up by David Laird's goal before half time. An own goal made the lead four, before two goals pulled Wealdstone back into the game but the Blues held on for a memorable win.

NORMAN CONQUEST AT BATTLE OF HASTINGS

Dave Norman's troops made the perfect start to their first ever Ryman Premier League campaign with three well deserved points at Hastings United.

Leon Smith continued his goalscoring exploits of last season with the only goal of the game.

Bobby Aisien, on his return to The Blues, was the only player that featured who wasn't part of last year's promotion squad. Aisien and Nielsen were rarely troubled by the Hastings front pair although a wonder save from Bobby Smith kept the score at 1-0 at half time.

David Laird won a second half penalty and despite crashing his spot kick against the crossbar, Wingate held on for the victory. Promotion favourites Lowestoft Town travel to Summers Lane on Tuesday night.

MORE NEW SIGNINGS FOR RYMAN PREMIER CAMPAIGN

Wingate & Finchley are pleased to announce some further signings to bolster the squad for the new Ryman Premier Division campaign. Arriving are Daran Bern, Miles Mitchell-Coop and Milton Elenge.

Bobby Aisien and Kieran Street are two former players who are making a welcome return to the Club as well.

Bern is 24 years old and can play on either wing. He represented Great Britain in the Macabbi European 2011 games winning a gold medal. His pace and movement will cause defenders concern and he has an eye for goal as well.

Mitchell-Coop is a very talented footballer who can play in either defence or midfield. Miles was at MK dons for 3 years before unfortunatley suffering a serious knee injury whilst on loan. Having spent 16 months recovering Miles played his first game in August. He has already shown his ability and will be an asset to Wingate & Finchley FC this season.

Milton Elenge is as comfortable in either defence or midfield. His has great composure on the ball and has an eye for a pass. He was previously a scholar at Birmingham City before moving to Cambridge City last season in the Evo-Stik Premier Division.

Centre-back Bobby Aisien returns after a spell with Rushden & Diamonds and Dover Athletic. Kieran Street is a strong and pacy left-back who is also returning after a few years away from the Club.
