The London Tigers kept pace with the early leaders in the SSML Premier Division by recording a second successive home league victory, beating Colney Heath by a one goal margin at Silver Jubilee Park this afternoon.

Tarik Ellekhlifi was the Tigers match winner, calmly slotting home from the penalty spot early in the second period after a 'Magpies' defender had brought down Edson Cata in the box.

The Tigers should have doubled their lead when an effort cannoned of the crossbar, but Henry Emenike skied the rebound from close range.
The visitors were denied an equaliser on a couple of occasions by the prowess of Siki Kambila in the home goal, the Tigers have yet to concede this season in 360 minutes of play!

The Tigers roared on by the home support were worth the 3pts despite the narrow margin of victory as they created the better chances and played a brand of football that was easy on the eye; though just lacking a cutting edge up front, the result keeps the Tigers in 4th spot in the SSML Premier Division.

Kingsbury visit Brimsdown Rovers in a SSML Premier clash on Wednesday night, and then travel to Canvey Island to take on Concord Rovers in the FA Cup Preliminary Round next Saturday.
