Hi Guys hope you are well.

Not sure if any of you saw this in the Echo last week, but it certainly seemed to cause quite a stir with both Canvey fans and management at the game on Saturday.

Jenkins blasts Canvey part-time 'excuse'

FORMER Southend United winger Neil Jenkins believes Canvey Island's part time status is not to blame for the Gulls stuttering start to life in the Conference.

The former England U20 International - who has impressed for Crawley Town this season - has helped his new side reach fifth in the table and is hoping to improve that position against the Gulls tommorow.

"We're only part time and we are right up there and Aldershot were part time last season when they got to the final of the play offs, so I don't think it makes any difference at all," said the 23-year-old.

"So if Canvey says it does then they are just making excuses."

Jenkins is looking forward to facing Jeff King's men after a 2-2 draw at Park Lane bck in September.

"They were so lucky to get a point that night," said Jenkins who help tranfer talks with the Islanders before joining Crawley during the summer.

"But hopefully we can make up for it this weekend. We've only lost once at home this season and that was to Barnet, so we're confident and know we should get the three points."

For info, Crawley is also playing Canvey Tue 8th Feb, in a cup match, if any of you fancy going. I know bruv would really appreciate it.

Good luck for the rest of the season.

Regards

Mark

If we can fill a mini-bus we'll double Canvey's average home gate.

Good spot Mr Herbert. We'll go then. ESC on the 1st March and B.R on the 8th. That fit's in nicely ...
