It was a professional and composed performance from Hackney Wick FC as they eased past Newbury Forest 3-0, moving two points clear at the top of the table with just three games to play.

In what was all about getting the job done, Hackney started sharply. Seb Mohammed opened the scoring early on with a well-taken free kick, setting the tone for the afternoon. Shortly after, a brilliant team move was finished off by Leo Pola, sending the Wickers into the break 2-0 up—though it could’ve easily been more.

Newbury offered some threat on the counter but were well contained by a disciplined Hackney backline, who have now recorded an impressive five consecutive clean sheets.

The second half saw Hackney seal the result, as Pola grabbed his second, heading home a cross from John Silva to make it 3-0. With the game under control, Hackney saw out the win with confidence and maturity.

Next up is Barkingside on Friday night, where the Wickers have the chance to extend their lead to five points in the title race.

Meanwhile, it's now confirmed that Hackney will face Harlow Town in the League Cup Final—setting up a potential winner-takes-all showdown, with both sides still chasing a historic league and cup double.
