LATEST NEWS AND IMPORTANT NOTICES
8th February
WE EXIT THE DROP ZONE
A trip to Maldon &Tiptree’s Park Drive Stadium where we had lost on 6 of our 7 previous visits is not really something a team fighting relegation would choose or welcome; As has so often been our problem in the last two seasons we conceded an early goal but this time we shrugged off the setback and were 2-1 ahead at the interval thanks to a penalty following a hand ball as a corner came over, confidently arrowed home by Matt Young and an own goal, which might have gone in anyway when Derek Asamoah raced in from the left and drove the ball across from the bye-line. In between the goals a broken nose for Tommy Boxer saw long term injury returner Rakim Richards brought on for what was to be his longest spell in a match since his recent return to the squad. Rakim had taken part in our only previous victory at Park Drive way back on 8th December 2015 – all 5 following matches having been defeats. The second half was an even affair in which we spurned two glorious chances to extend our lead. Maldon never gave our debut making ‘keeper, Ashlee Jones signed yesterday from Saffron Walden Town, the opportunity to deliver anything spectacular but he did everything required of him efficiently and spread confidence to those in front of him and his long kicks set many attacks in motion. Naturally Maldon pounded away at us in the nail biting 5 minutes of added time which has so often been our Achilles heel. But not today as everyone did their utmost to keep them out and deserved to succeed. A great day was made better by other results going our way as all of the other bottom six teams lost which enabled us to lift ourselves into that precious 18th spot and on the evidence of our recent improved performances we must now have a real chance of holding on to it even though all our rivals have two or more games in hand on us. Really all our games are now "must wins" or at the very least "must not losers" and none more so than our next game which will be the visit of table footers Ipswich Wanderers next Saturday 3pm……..the UNDER 23s had got the weekend off to a reasonable start with a 2-2 draw when Walthamstow Reserves visited Coles Park on Friday evening……..on Sunday the WOMEN replayed their voided Capital Womens Cup game with London Seaward at Coles Park and sent their National League opponents away as 3-0 - losers. The opening exchanges were quite even but midway though the half a penalty awarded during a goal-mouth scramble caused by a corner kick enabled Ronnell Humes to find the net with a drive low into the ‘keepers right hand corner. Just a few minutes into the second half Ronnell doubled the lead as she closed in on a cross from the left and blasted the ball into the roof of the net from what looked like an impossible angle. Ten minutes later Borough ‘keeper Emma Roberts pulled off a magnificent diving save of a swerving long shot which would surely have encouraged the visitors to pile on the pressure. But the Borough defence was in fine form and denied the visitors any clear cut chances. In the last minute Shawna Harvey raced on to a long over the top ball and coolly lobbed the advancing ‘keeper to put an end to any lingering worries about an added time comeback. Next Sunday they will be at home again – 2pm – in the Quarter Final of the Cup when Sutton United visit.
