Ade Abayomi’s team conceded early goal and couldn’t response, so suffered their seventh consecutive defeat
Tower Hamlets ended their home campaign in the Essex Senior League last night with a narrow 1-0 defeat to Eton Manor.
Ade Abayomi’s men were hoping to finish on a high at the Mile End Stadium and bounce back after the weekend.
Last Saturday they suffered a 6-1 defeat on their own turf to London Bari despite the visitors only leading 1-0 at the break.
Hamlets were on a six-match losing streak ahead of hosting Manor and made the worst possible start.

Hamlets pushed for an equaliser after the break and created numerous chances, yet had to settle for a one-goal defeat.
Abayomi’s men have two more fixtures to play this season and will hope to end their poor form at Enfield this weekend.
Hamlets’ are currently 20th – third from bottom – and that is the highest they can finish this season, but lowly rivals Burnham Ramblers have one game in hand and are only three points behind the east Londoners.
