After the disappointment of losing the previous week, Marlow United bounced back with a hard fought victory over second place league rivals Beaconsfield SYCOB.

Marlow played the more expansive football in the first half playing some great through balls to allow the attacking duo to create a 3 – 0 lead for Marlow at half time.

But after the break, SYCOB took the initiative and their chances to turn around the game and at 3 -2 Marlow made a defensive error and gave away two penalties in short succession. Goalkeeper Charlie Perry made a fantastic diving save to stop the 1st penalty but was powerless to stop the second with SYCOB drawing the game level at 3 - 3.

A double substitute by Marlow Utd allowed brothers Sidney and Bradley Obiorah to rest back the initiative and eventually Wesley Bobb was able to score his second goal to push Marlow ahead at 4 – 3.

The SYCOB goalie took a bad knock and had to be substituted, however no goalie was going to stop Marlow’s fifth goal as Bradley Obiorah flew in from midfield to smash his first goal of the season against the underside of the crossbar and into the back of the net.

Marcus Shallow then made the game certain for Marlow picking up the loose ball from a cross from Dan Browne to score his fifth goal of the season.

Marlow needed a win and they got it. They needed a convincing win and they got it. The race for league title is very much back on.
