Grays Athletic 2 Hutton 7
Goalscorer: Johnson
Some defensive and positional errors in the first half saw Grays score 3 own goals form Hutton set pieces, the Blues were 4-0 down at half time, it was going to be one of those days as Grays who were playing the better football were unable to take their chances in front of goal, had they been more clinical they could have reduced the scoreline considerably.

Cobra “B” 0 Grays Athletic 3
Goalscorers: Stopher (2), Klessa-Smith
Grays racked up another 3 points to keep them at the top of the table , with only 5
games left to go in the season.
The boys struggled against the cold blustery conditions in the first half and it was no surprise that the score was goalless at half-time. Grays had several chances to score but were unable to break through the stout Cobra defence.
With the wind in the second half Grays took full advantage. Stopher scored a quick fire brace with identical moves from right wing crosses from Price. The first was thumped home emphatically by Stopher into the top of the net and his second from a glancing touch that deceived the keeper. Grays defence were strong again at the back and were able to frustrate the speedy Cobra striker , reducing him to shooting tamely from long range. Three points were finally secured towards the end when S.Pumfrett collected the ball inside the penalty area and laid the ball back to Klessa-Smith who thumped the ball home.
A good ,solid performance from all the boys today and the confidence is high going into the final few games. The next two games are at Home to Pegasus and Cowley Boys.
Man-of-the-Match: Stopher

Grays Athletic Lions 2 Basildon Boys North 0
Goalscorers: Samuel. Harry.
Grays played another great game this week, even with the terrible weather and strong wind, Grays came out with another win.
The first half was a close match, Basildon Boys had their chances with one of them being a great shot from the half way line, high in the air, it looked like it was going in but Charlie kept his eye on the ball and made an outstanding save. The first half finished 0-0.
Grays came out battling in the second half and within a couple of minutes Samuel opened up the scoring making it 1 - 0. Harry finished the scoring with another goal shortly after making it 2 - 0. Basildon boys kept battling but the Grays defence stood strong and Basildon were unable to get through.
Another 3 points, well deserved.
Keep up the hard work boys, well done.

Lee Chapel Rockets 2 Grays Athletic 2
Goalscorers: Tyler, Alfie
Grays played well today, we went down 1-0 early on with the wind messing about with our play. They are a good team and the boys were in for a tough game.
As we chased the game in the first half we were caught on the counter, we stuck in there and in the second half got a vital goal, Tyler popping up with that one.
Now Grays finally woke up and played we looked pretty solid at the back and started to create chances.
After some good play on the wing, Jack was failed just outside the box and got a free kick, Alfie then hit a great shot, the keeper had no chance. Well done boys never give up. Well done boys keep it up.
Man of the Match: Alfie...great hit...
