Result: Yeading 0 Wingate & Finchley 3
Tuesday 23 March 2004 - Ryman League Division One North
The Ding's winning home streak was ended by a second-half demolition in which the referee, Wingates good footballing ability and Yeading's own frustrations played a part.
After dominating the opening half Yeading found themselves a goal down just before the break when Guy Morris headed Wingate ahead from the front corner of the six yard box meeting a cross from the left.
DJ Campbell had already had one effort saved and in first half-injury time Danny Jordan had a header cleared off the line, but went into the break behind to the visitor's only effort of the half.
Campbell was booked early in the second half for what was deemed 'kicking the ball away' and Yeading's frrustrations began to show.
A sixty-third minute corner saw Wingate net their second goal with their second chance, poor marking eventually ending with Paul Hakim heading home.
Two minutes later and a decision by referee McGuinness earned comments from Ding captain Darti Brown (earning him a yellow card) and Nevin Saroya (earning him a red card).
Wingate were by now looking a yard sharper than the Ding and were more productive without creating chances. A double Yeading substitution did liven things up but minutes later Yeading's hopes of a come-back were dashed when Bobby Behzadi's challenge in the box was ajudged a foul earning Wingate a penalty- duly despatched by Danny Boateng - and Behzadi a yellow card.
With frustrations running high, Campbell earned himself a second yellow card for off-the-ball comments and YEading were down to nine men.
Ironically, two men short they began to play the best football of the game but without Campbell and the injured Telemaque up front they were unable to convert this into efforts on goal.

Saturday 20 MArch 2004 - Ryman League Division One North
The Ding go nine points clear at the top of the table after coming from being to an early goal. Nevin Saroya drew the sides level with a tenth minute penalty after DJ Campbell had been clattered to the ground, then with eight minutes of normal time to go Captain Darti Brown captured all three points for the Ding with an eight-yard volley just inside the upright. Effectively a six-point win over their title-rivals the Ding's title hopes were helped further by Leyton merely drawing at Harlow Town.

Result: Yeading 0 Northwood 5
Tuesday 9 March 2004 - Middlesex Charity Cup - Quarter Final
Ding manager Johnson Hippolyte chose to use the game as a run-out for some of the fringe players and with the side never really gelling saw his side offer little in the way of a threat on the visitors goal. One good thing from the game was the first half appearance of Leon Woodruffe after a number of weeks out.
Result: Yeading 5 Thame United 1
Ryman League Division One North - Saturday 6 March 2004
Five different scorers keep the Ding top of the table and secured their ninth successive home league win. Nevin Saroya opened the scoring from the spot in the twnety-third minute, before Errol Telemaque and Bobby Behzadi extend the lead in the second half. A Thame consolation came in the 72 minute through a lack of concentration but Yeading were enjoying the game and with some exquisite touches and a candidate for goal of the season (Bruno Mendonca) Yeading wrapped up the victory comfortably, with DJ Campbell netting the fifth on the stroke of full-time.
Result: Yeading 2 Barking & East Ham United 1
Ryman LEague Division one North - Tuesday 2 March 2004
It was far from a vintage performance from the Ding but first half goals from Errol Telemaque and DJ Campbell, split by a goal from Barking's Anthony Read, were enough to give the home side all three points. With Leyton drawing and Cheshunt winning, Yeading now sit three points clear at top with Cheshunt (who face Barking on Saturday) second-placed.
