For two nights and playing to packed crowds, Let Him Have It has been a living, breathing example of how the course works as a number of disciplines across the curriculum. Let Him Have It is based on the story of Derek Bentley, a british teenager, hanged for the murder of a policeman in 1953.

One letter read: “To all my brothers....be good and don’t be like me and kill someone. Get jobs so that you can be good men.” Scamp told the police: "I was asking my brothers to not be angry with my ex-boyfriend for assaulting me.

Thurrock knew they had to dig deep in the second half as they would be playing against the wind and uphill against a determined Havering team. This was certainly the case and Thurrock demonstrated a great sense of team spirit in keeping out the Havering strike force. However, with ten minutes left, Havering's pressure paid off when the Thurrock midfield lost the ball and Havering whipped in a shot that went past the outstretched Thurrock keeper. It was now nail-biting stuff as Thurrock dug deep to stop Havering from equalising. As the clock ticked by, Havering was awarded
Since that game, Grays have looked like a different team, playing with a rhythm and confidence that had been missing. The settled side has been a huge factor.

It was the T's first game to start the second half of the season in the N14Hockey Div 3SE with a hard game against Crostyx IIs. With a win against Upminster last week every one wanted to carry on the performance into this game, but with Christian Jenkins still unavailable with a badly torn hamstring and captain Steve Abbott out with a recurring back injury it was always going to be an uphill struggle.
