Good friday brought sunshine finally and also a cracking prospect of a local essex derby. East Thurrock started the better of the two sides and took the lead on 12 minutes when James Lawson got into the box and thumped a bullet of a shot in off the underside of the crossbar giving the keeper no chance. East Thurrock continued to have the better of the play but towards the end of the half Canvey created a couple of good chances but could not convert. The second half went much the same way and on 74 minutes a truly great goal was witnessed by the strong 315 crowd. The ball was crossed over and Sam Higgins volleyed the ball first time with his left foot straight past the keeper into the goal. It was a terrific strike and one of the best I've seen for a while. Canvey did create a couple of decent efforts towards the end but it wasn't to be their day. East Thurrock could of added to their tally also but it finished 2-0 and a well deserved victory for The Rooks today.
