Aveley got the better of the near neighbours Thurrock by battling to a hard earned 2-0 win at Ship Lane to progress to the next round of the FA Cup. Thurrock were the better side for the majority of the first half but wasted chances to take the lead before Aveley took the lead themselves on 32 minutes when Weemes effort was saved by Walker down to his right but the ball came out to Danny Francis who cooly slotted into the far corner, putting the away side 1-0 ahead at the break. Thurrock continued to create some chances in the second half but it was one of those days in front of goal for the home side. Aveley were playing more and more on the counter attack towards the end and finally settled this tie a minute into stoppage time when sustitute Theo Ola curled a delightful effort beyond Walker into the bottom right hand corner to send the side from Field Mill into the hat for tomorrows draw.
