Chelmsford League
Hutton 5 Grays Athletic 0
Grays were defeated by a stronger team, the conditions did not allow passing football and Hutton played the better route one style, some defensive and passing errors cost Grays the game, some of the team really need to start looking for options and not trying to play keep ball all the time. so far we have conceded 83 goals this season and with only 3 games left to play we could be looking at 3 figures.

Grays Athletic 3 County Park 2
Goalscorers: Price, Klessa-Smith, Edmunds.
The Champions completed their league campaign today with a hard-fought win against County Park in atrocious conditions.
Grays took the lead early in the first half. S.Pumfrett followed up a rebounded Bearman shot and passed to Edmunds who struck it hard and low into the net. County Park then equalised before half-time direct from a corner and the score was all square at half-time.
County Park then took the lead soon after the kick-off after hesitation in the Grays defence and the boys were looking at a shock defeat. Grays continued to press though and were soon level after Edmunds blocked shot was thumped home by Klessa-Smith. Four minutes later and Grays took the lead when Price won the ball on the halfway line and ran on to strike it past the opposing goalkeeper. Despite several other chances Grays could not add to the lead and everybody was happy when that final whistle sounded. Now the funs starts when the boys move up next season to play 11-a-side.

Grays Athletic 2 Thurrock Lions 1
Goalscorer: Jack
Thats more like it boys, well done. You all showed today that you can play football and may be that was your best performance in terms of actual football. We looked solid at the back and seem to be understanding the game much better. Elliot and Memo are proving to be a good pairing. Alfie was super today and always looked like causing trouble while on the wings the boys did very well and got foward well but also helped out at the back when needed. Liam our keeper had little to do really and was beaten by a fluke goal, but he stayed focused and is looking good.
Our captain Jack got the first with some good play by Alfie and some good skill by Jack to open them up, a smart left foot finish. Jack looked like he was enjoying himself today and so it proved as it was Jack who got the winner
that he made himself with some strong play and a good finish.
Well done lads much better from all of you, lets av it next season and see what happens. It has been a good season lads well done, from your manager Paul and your coach Darren. We would like to thank everyone that has helped us make this possible. Thanks..
Man of the Match: Jack..quality finishing..
