A great performance against the top of the division team. Good teamwork throughout the match and a superb hat-trick from Wade. We still need to talk to each other more on the pitch though.

Gidea Park Rangers “B” 3 Grays Athletic 2
Goalscorer: Fenn(20, 32pen)
Grays Athletic pulled out the stops today against a team that beat them 8-0 earlier in the season, Grays went down 1-0 within the first 10 but fought back and Fenn equalised on 20 minutes, a defensive error cost Grays a goal one minute later, Sculfor was set on goal but was bought down in the area, Fenn dispatched the resultant penalty to bring the scores back even which they remained up to half time.
Second half was very similar to the first half with Grays battling against Gidea Park Rangers, both teams had opportunities to raise the score but it was in the 62nd minute that Gidea Park got the winning goal after a goalline tussle which saw the Grays keeper man handled to the floor, unfortunatley this was not seen by the referee due to no clear view through the players.
Grays seem to have turned the corner and if they continue to play the football that they know they are capable of the results will come.

Grays Athletic 1 Cowley Boys 1
Goalscorer: Edmunds
The boys gained another point in their quest for the championship and in truth a draw was a fair relection of the game. Grays had a few half chances in the first half but we finally took the lead through Edmunds. A floated pass from Bearman was collected by Edmunds who slotted calmly past the keeper. The game was tough and the midfield tussles were keenly contested but it was Cowley Boys who equalised just before the break and the score was even at the interval. The second half went the way of the first and it was Cowley who had the better chances to win the game but Dale stood firm in goal.
The boys need to up their game next week and 3 points is vital against relegation-threatened County Park.
Next Game is away to County Park

Goalscorer: Ben.W(2)
Grays played another great game of football earning them another 3 points. Ben.W opened the scoring just 3 minutes in but Aveley being a strong team made a good first half with both goalies making some great saves.
Grays came out strong the second half with Ben.W getting his second goal 7 minutes in. Aveley continued to be strong and battle hard making it another great half of football to watch. Aveley continued pushing forward and managed to put a great goal in the back of the net making the score 2 -1. With a great save from Charlie, pushing the ball round the post in the last few seconds kept it as the win they deserved.
Well done boys, keep up the hard work.

It was a close game today with few chances. Both teams were trying to get that all important goal, with Grays going the closest. We had to be very strong as they are quite a physical side and we had to stand up to that and we did. Well done boys keep going....
Man of the match.. Elliot.. Great defensive work superb...
