Ongar Juniors 2 Grays Athletic U16B 0
The first half was a stale mate with both teams playing some good football.
Second half Ongar had the run of luck in a game that had 0-0 written on it
Man of the match: Andrew Ward (G/K)
Under 15 Chelmsford League Division 3
Gidea Park Rangers A 5 Grays Athletic 1
Goalscorer: Fenn
Grays Athletic suffered a defeat in their first game since moving up from Division 4, the first half saw Grays with the majority of posession and but for some great goalkeeping from the opposition keeper should have been infront, the first half finished 2-1 to Gidea Park, they took their lead through a fantastic 25yrd free kick.
The start of the second half was another good show from Grays Athletic but the foot came off the gas and lack of fitness from some of the playes started to show and we ended up having 3 more goals against us, credit to the Grays players though as they continued to push forward rather than sitting back defensive, but today was not to be their day.

Grays Athletic 3 Corringham Cosmos 0
Goalscorers: Ross, Rykie, Josh
Grays followed on from last weeks good result with another win.
The scoring was opened on 15 minute when Ross got the last touch on a ball in the area to put Grays 1 - 0 up. The score stayed that way until half time.
Corringham battled hard for an equaliser but Grays increased their lead 16 minutes into the second half when Rykie broke into the box and latched onto a superb flicked on pass from Josh.
The game was effectively killed off 2 minutes later when George won the ball in midfield and picked out Josh who was wide on the right. Josh hit a great looping shot from outside the area that sailed in over the keeper.
Corringham Cosmos were worthy opponents and never let Grays settle into their stride.
Under 10 Echo League Trent Division
Grays Athletic 1 Rippleway B 3
Goalcorer: Price
The boys were taught a hard lesson in defending today as we gifted all 3 goals to Rippleway.
The first goal came after the ball was not cleared and the second after a pass across the penalty box was intercepted. The boys came out for the second half but were soon 3-0 down. S.Pumfrett hit the bar with a header and the game tilted slightly towards Grays. Price pulled a goal back with a crisp shot but it turned out to be only a consolation.
Joint Men of the Match: Le^Rogers and Price
Man of the Match for last weeks game at EMH which was omitted was Potter.

Grays Athletic Lions 10 Aveley Youth Tigers 0
Goalscorers: Samuel (3), Ben.W (2), Ben.O (2), Wesley, Jake and Harry.
The boys played a pre-season friendly against Aveley Youth Tigers. Aveley worked really hard and played some good football but were unable to break through the Grays defence thanks to Connor, Joe & Ben.O, with Grays winning 10 - 0.
The boy's kept their positions and made some excellent passes, with Charlie making some great saves and keeping another clean sheet.
Well done boys.
