Hackney Wick FC secured a vital 2-0 victory over Cannons Wood FC, avenging their earlier season defeat and keeping the pressure firmly on league leaders Harlow Town. With the title race shaping up to be a thrilling two-horse battle, Hackney delivered a dominant performance to claim all three points.

The Wickers wasted no time, taking the lead within the first minute when Andre whipped in a perfect cross for Issa Sidibie to head home clinically. Just moments later, Hackney doubled their advantage with a beautifully worked team goal—Khaneil Brown orchestrating the play, linking up with Leo Pola, whose precise cross found Sidibie to slot in his second of the match.

Despite their early dominance, Hackney couldn’t extend their lead, with Pola, Cheneti, and Sidibie himself missing golden opportunities to put the game beyond doubt. However, the early goals proved enough as Hackney controlled the match and secured another crucial win.

Next up is a key clash against playoff-chasing Raleigh Town, with Hackney looking to maintain their momentum in the race for the title.
