ON the face of it, a disappointing result for the Rocks, but in the end it was impossible to come away from the game without feeling immense pride for the players performance on an afternoon when the footballing gods were definitely not on their side.
ROCKS struggled to get going after conceding a scrappy goal inside the opening two minutes, on a chilly and ultimately disappointing night in Tolworth.
COMING off the back of Saturday’s momentous energy and nerve-sapping FA Trophy quarter-final at Notts County it was perhaps not surprising that Aveley were unable to peak again in Monday night’s BetVictor clash against neighbours Brentwood – but you couldn’t fault the lack of effort reports Thurrock Nub News.
THURROCK finished third overall at this year’s Essex Championships. Even though the top two teams had between 60-100% more swimmers, the quality of Thurrock’s swimmers was evident and a fantastic 3rd place was well deserved.
EAST Thurrock United manager John Coventry has announced he is to leave the BetVictor Isthmian Premier Division side at the end of the season, after 13 years at the helm of one of the most remarkable stories in non-League football.
