Wonder how many of their players will be tucked up and in bed by 10pm the night before a game ha ha

..... or, if you want a slightly higher standard (or live west of Southend) Cup heroes, East Thurrock United taking on a resurgent Billericay might be the game for you.

Elsewhere, Braintree will be looking for a quick double over Dartford, Canvey host strugglers Bury Town and for anyone who finds themselves the wrong side of the tunnel, Concord and Chelmsford will both be trying to reverse heavy defeats from their Boxing Day home matches against Bromley and Ebbsfleet respectively.

I'm afraid that I have it on good authority that Romford (The Boro) will win again!

When you say win "again", they haven't won any of their last six matches !

'Again' was because Romford beat them 4-2 at Burroughs Park earlier in the season in a cup game.

I'm gonna opt for the East Thurrock v Billericay game. It'll be the 5th time I've seen Billericay this season. The Ryman Prem can be quite entertaining although lacking quality at times. Lots of long ball & goal mouth action, extraordinary fitness levels but you can be hard pressed to find a cultured midfielder who can really pick a pass.

Start the New Year with live football --- none of this "armchair Premiershite"

Glenn Poole not playing in those previous four?

Absolutely ..... get out there and support a local team.

Bonus refwatch: Oliver Morris-Sanders from Suffolk takes charge at Wakering and Dave Bushell from London is at Rookery Hill.

Yes, and is probably the exception really. Although he still has to adapt his game to the style of play (ie he plays it long but with whip and into good areas). Harrison Chatting at Canvey also caught my eye earlier in the season too. For those that get over to Great Wakering I think Tom Ranger is a top player and will work his way up the leagues over time.

Anyway, East Thurrock beat Billericay 2 1 earlier. Billericay went down to 10 men after 15 mins when they were winning 1 0. Quite entertaining, very windy and the football was very direct. Any other Shrimpers over there today ?

interestingly, ollie was a really decent keeper at ryman league standard and think he may have played conference south a bit too? really nice guy and packed in playing at a relatively young age to give refereeing a go.

I do hope he is a loan player !!!

I remember him playing for Heybridge but not at Conference level.

Thought the first half was entertaining but it fell away a lot in the second half. East Thurrock deserved their win and Billericay missed the suspended Ricky Sappleton (who scored a wonder goal in the Monday game before Christmas).

yes, totally agree with all of this. Interestingly, I saw Cameron Belford in the bar at half time...

I think there is a good player in Sappleton, if he was more mobile.

All the action in the first half of the first half. Three goals (one comedy one), a penalty and a red card. Teddy Nesbitt turned out for Billericay, a couple of decent moments but a feeble shot from the edge of the box.
