Sitting on my balcony in Greece and fancied writing a blog on Tuesday night's football in the Essex Senior League and Thurlow Nunn Division One South, and update you all on what has happened so far, well have no games to go to over here so needed to keep blog active whilst away!!!
Anyway lets see what happened on Tuesday night.....
FA Vase First Qualifying Round
Clapton 0-1 Punjab United
The sole remaining tie of the opening round of the Vase after it was postponed due to pitch issues at the Terrence McMillan Stadium meant it was played on Tuesday night and also at Punjab's Elite Venue ground in Gravesend. And sadly for Clapton they went out, losing to a Paul Vines second half strike meaning the club are out of both FA competitions for the season.
Essex Senior League
Buckhurst Hill 2-0 Southend Manor
Two first half goals were enough to see Buckhurst Hill bounce back from a heavy defeat in the FA Cup at the weekend to net their first win of the league campaign and climb above their opponents and two others into 17th spot. Sonny Shilling smashed home a cross from Ezekiel Bademosi ten minutes before the break to give the hosts the lead before a Jake Moss screamer two minutes before half time double their lead. It's a third straight defeat for Manor who sink to the foot of the table on goal difference.
FC Clacton 2-0 Barking
Goals from Jack Marshall and Jack Johnson either side of half time handed FC Clacton all three points against Barking at The Austin Arena. Marshall netted his first goal for the club just before the break before Johnson converted at the back post just after half time to double the hosts advantage, and the win takes them into sixth spot having now won three in a row without conceding a goal. Barking are down in 15th after this latest set back, and only have one win from their first four.
Little Oakley 4-2 Ilford
Oakley climbed to the summit of the division after a home win over an Ilford side whose good start to the season has rather hit the buffers. Harry Mann evaded the offside trap to strike early for the Acorns, and when Ed Nobbs forced home from a dangerous corner soon after, it looked like a routine win was on the cards. However, Ilford were level at 2-2 after just fifteen minutes, firstly pulling one back throgh Rawlins and then restoring parity from Boxall, but Oakley then retook the lead from Nathan Rowe and then saw Mensah given a straight red, and then Danny Garrad sealed the win when adding a fourth for Oakley's fourth win in six. Ilford have now lost three of five leagues games and are down in 12th as a result.
Redbridge 2-1 West Essex
The Motormen ended West's 100% start after a stoppge time goal from Solomon Ogunwomoju handed the hosts all three points to lift them to second on goal difference. Cam Gray gave West an early lead after nodding home at the near post but Jake Brocklebank restored parity just eight minutes later after a lovely touch, turn and finish. Chances came and went but West were reduced to ten men with nine minutes remaining after Saliu was sent off, but it looked like the game would end all square until Ogunwomoju's brilliant free kick in stoppage time won the game for the hosts. West's first loss of the season sees them in fifth.
So, here is the updated table after the above games.....

Thurlow Nunn First Division South
Burnham Ramblers 5-0 Wivenhoe Town
The Dragons awful start to their season continued as they were thumped at Leslie Field by Burnham Ramblers. It took just eighteen minutes for the hosts to break the deadlock when Adeyemi Adebolu nutmegged the keeper, and then they doubled their lead five minutes before the break when Albert Galbally sent a back post header over the keeper and in. And the visitors task was made even header when they received a straight red right on half time afterb Adam Brand-Barkers foul on the half way line was deemed to dangerous. It stayed that way until ten minutes from time when Ramblers added a third when Tyler Forbes fired home from outside the box, and then two goals in added on time, a penalty from Karl Swanborough and a clincial finish from Shemarie Perkins capped a fine evening for the hosts who are now in second spot. The Dragons remain second bottom.
League Challenge Cup
Frenford 3-2 May & Baker
Hosts Frenford are through to the next round of the Challenge Cup after inflciting Bakers first defeat in all competitions this season at The Drive. Nick Reynolds gave the hosts a 26th minute lead but James Hobday levelled the tie up four minutes after the break, but Raheem Gray then restored the hosts lead in the 56th minute. Remi Awosanya then restored parity once again with twenty minutes to go, but the hosts won it with five minutes remaining thanks to Josh Fisayo.
Stanway Pegasus 3-0 Haverhill Borough
Pegasus's start to life in Senior Football coninuted to impress after the First Division South leaders saw off First Division North mid table side Haverhill Borough after goals from Josh Chapman, Max Booth and Callum Giff proved more than enough to send Rosi Webb's side into the next round of the competition.
