Hackney Wick FC edged even closer to the league title and promotion with a commanding 5-1 victory away at Barkingside FC, delivering yet another dominant performance in their title-chasing run-in.

The Wickers set the tone early, controlling possession and tempo. Issa Sidibe was on fire, scoring two quickfire goals in the first half to give Hackney a firm grip on the match. Romaine Barnes Wallace then added a third, rising highest to head home from a Leo Pola corner, marking a well-deserved moment for the defender.

Barkingside managed to pull one back just before the break from a corner, but it was little more than a consolation.

In the second half, Adam Cheneti calmly slotted in Hackney’s fourth before Sidibe completed his hat-trick, continuing his outstanding goal-scoring form and sealing another statement win for the Wickers.

Hackney now turn their focus to their final home league match of the season against Newbury Forest, before a potential title-clinching clash against May & Baker. Two wins from these final two matches will secure the league title and promotion—the finish line is in sight.
