Isthmian Division North
Tilbury 0 v 0 Cambridge City
FOLLOWING a brilliant display on the road at title hopefuls, Felixstowe & Walton, during the week, Tilbury welcomed Cambridge City to Chadfields for more Isthmian League North action on Saturday (7 March).
There were two changes to Dockers’ starting 11 that defeated the Seasiders, with Ronnie Winn and Josh Taylor replacing Jake Brocklebank and Lester Ward, who featured among the substitutes. Early in the game.
Dockers broke down the left flank, through Soumen Nandi who burst past Aaron Williams-Bushell before swinging a cross towards the arriving Dan Trendall. However, his header bounced just wide of the target.
The Lilywhites came close to opening the scoring in the 20th minute, when a cross was headed down in the area by George Smith, looking to set up Alex Warman. The midfielder attempted to poke the ball over the line, but he was denied by an incredible save from Billy Lawlor.
Lawlor was called to action once more before half-time, as another cross from the righthand side found Smith on the edge of the six-yard area. Smith glanced his header towards the far post, but another important stop from Lawlor kept the game level.
