Harlow maintained 4th spot in Ryman Division One on Saturday, but again failed to hold onto a lead at Hammerskjold Road as Berkamstead escaped with a point.

Steve Blaney had given the hosts the lead on 11 minutes, but Ben Smith's penalty equaliser 8 minutes before the break keeps Harlow just off the pace at the top.

Tilbury weren't in action, and Great Wakering will probably wish they weren't, losing at home to Mark Simm's goal for Oxford City.

East Thurrock made the worst possible start at Yeading, finding themselves four down after only 16 minutes. Steve Ashley (2), Mark Miller and Keith Newby hit the early goals to leave United with a mountain to climb. They did get one back soon afterwards from Mick Stanbrook, but conceded a fifth in the second half - Miller's second.

An excellent win for struggling Wivenhoe Town though who move out of the bottom two. Sean Caton, George Foster and Gary Hudson hit the goals to record a 3-2 win at bottom club Wembley.
