A LATE goal from Joe Wright secured an Isthmian North victory for Tilbury in their derby with Romford at Mayesbrook Park this evening (Wednesday, 29 September).
THERE was a mood of optimism on the back of some great FA Cup performances for East Thurrock when they ran out at Coles Park in the Isthmian Premier against Haringey
THE visiting Rocks looked to have established a grip on tonight's (Tuesday, 21 September) replay when Johnny Ashman put them ahead on 37 minutes and six minutes later Ben Wyss gave them a two goal half time advantage.
BLUES leading for most of the game saw Coggeshall snatch a draw courtesy of a Sam Bantick penalty in what was a classic game of two halves. Danny Sambridge succumbed to a back injury early on to be replaced by 16 year old Sam Griek who acquitted himself well.
MORE enforced pre match shuffling for beleaguered Rocks boss Paul Martin, as in addition to his already lengthy injury list, he had left back Rimmel Daniel unavailable for family reasons and new signing Ola Ogunwamide cup tied.

Grays Athletic 4 v 0 Romford
AFTER a disappointing setback against Maldon & Tiptree Blues bounced back in style with a four goal feast...
AVELEY suffered the heartbreak of bowing out of the FA Cup on penalties this evening (Monday, 13 September) in a tight fought match against a side managed by their former boss Justin Gardner that at times became fractious.
WITH nine members of Paul Martin’s injury decimated squad ruled out, Rocks were truly down to the bare bones for this trip to pre-season title favourites Worthing, even including assistant manager Mark Lord amongst their substitutes.
ROCKS avoided a potential banana skin at Northern Premier Midlands Division Cambridge City, to progress into the second qualifying round of the FA Cup.
