After Tuesday's 2-1 away win at Ware, Redbridge were looking to secure their fifth league win in a row. Sadly for them, they came up against a good Enfield Town side who were well worth their victory at the Oakside.

Enfield controlled the game from the start and but for Elliott Justham in goal, would have had the game won probably in the first half. Redbridge's in-form 'keeper made several stunning saves to keep the visitors at bay, that even had Enfield's supporters applauding his actions.

Enfield's frontline of Liam Hope, Adam Wallace and Leon Osei caused the Redbridge backline problems the whole game. Wallace was denied twice inside the opening 20 minutes by Justham, once from close range and once from the byline.

Kevin McLeod was doing his best to get Redbridge into the game, and a moment of brilliance from the ex-football league pro almost put Redbridge ahead, against the run of play. Good link up play with Hyun-Jin Lee presented McLeod with some space on the edge of the box.

After deftly skipping past his marker, the talented forward shot a low powerful shot goalwards. Darren Bonfield in goal did well to get a finger to his shot and unluckily for McLeod his shot hit the inside of the post and get cleared to safety.

Not long after that, Enfield's Andy Jones thought he'd put his side in the lead, but his low drive inside the penalty area went the wrong side of the post and into the side netting, with Justham beaten for once.

On the stroke of half-time, Enfield scuffed more chances to go ahead as their grip on the game grew stronger. First Osei caused problems down his flank and sent a peach of a ball into the box. Richie Morton at the back post intending to head the ball goalwards only headed the ball back across goal where Jon Moore headed over.

With half time looming, a lapse by Nathan Fletcher in defence for Redbridge prevented Hope with a chance on the edge of the area. Hope sidestepped Fletcher before bending the ball goalwards. Justham though somehow got his hand to the shot on it's way to the top corner and somehow Redbridge got into half time on level terms. It was a stunning save to say the least.

The Motormen would ideally have wanted a comfortable start to the second half. Enfield however attacked right from the word go in a half that ultimately they would dominate. After a spell of pressure which saw Hope head wide and Wallace drag a shot over the bar, Enfield took the lead just before the hour-mark.

A good ball in midfield from Osei split the Motormen's defence allowing Hope to break the offside trap. Unselfishly the striker threaded the ball back across goal where Wallace tapped home. Justham in goal stood no chance.

Jody Brown was forced into making changes after that and Kevin Coyle and Shane Stamp were brought on to add abit of energy to Redbridge's midfield. Stamp made an immediate mark on the game and some good play by him down the byline appeared to set up McLeod up in the box with a chance on goal.

Just as McLeod was seemingly about to hammer the ball into the net, the linesman put his flag up much to the frustration of the forward and his team mates. It was a tight call and one which dented the Motormen in their hunt for an equaliser.

Not long afterwards Enfield wrapped the game up with Moore scoring a nice goal inside the area after good play by Wallace. Justham in goal alike Wallace's opener could not be blamed.

Overall though Enfield were deserving winners as Redbridge failed to test Enfield in the final third despite a decent performance in general. February will be a tough month for Jody Brown's men, but there is enough quality within the squad for the boys to cope with the testing fixtures ahead.

Redbridge: Elliott Justham, Erdem Artun, Tom Stephen, Jonathan Glowacki (Julian Edwards 69), Sean Crossley, Nathan Fletcher, Alexander O'Leary (Shane Stamp 60), Glen Golby, Elie Kayembe (Kevin Coyle 60), Kevin McLeod, Hyun-Jin Lee.
