On 18th November, Grays Ath Under 11‘s travelled to Wickford for the 2nd Round in the League Cup.

The end result on a very cold and windy day ended up being 9 - 0 to Grays Ath with all goals being finished perfectly.
Roll on Round 3! Grays Ath Under 11‘s are still top of the Premier League with no losses. They are having a great start to their season.

Cowley Boys 1 Grays Athletic 4
Goalscorers: Klessa-Smith(2), Own Goal(2)
Cowley Boys belied their league position and gave the Grays boys a stiff test.
On a cold and windswept Wanstead Flats Grays struggled with the conditions and also an extremely bobbly pitch. Cowley scored with the wind with a crisp shot after we failed to clear the ball away from the penalty area. Klessa-Smith scored with 2 minutes to go of the first half , a strike from outside the box that seemed to swerve and deceive the opposing goalkeeper.
With the half-time score at 1-1 the boys regrouped and with the help of the wind came out fighting.Grays went into the lead early in the second half after a Cowley defender put into his own net from a corner. Klessa-Smith got his second from a long shot that went through the goalkeepers legs but Cowley still impressed with some fast forward play and the game was still in the balance.
Grays settled this encounter after a Price long throw went straight into the net but the goal was only deemed valid as the keeper helped the ball into the net. Another 3 points keeps the boys in top spot.
The boys face County Park at home next week to complete the first half of the season.
Man-of-the-Match: Klessa-Smith
