| Reserves up to third 27th August 2004 |
Barking & EHU Reserves, managed by former Barkingside first team manager Tony Myers, have climbed to third place in the Essex, Hertfordshire and Bordering Counties Combination despite taking just one point from our first six. A home 1-1 draw with Concord Rangers was followed by a 0-6 reverse at Leyton but the players have shown great character to bounce back with a brace of 3-2 victories. An away triumph over East Thurrock United was followed last night by a superb 3-2 defeat of previously undefeated second placed Heybridge Swifts. Tony Field and Aggray Obiero have two goals each so far with Danny Steele, Joe Turner and Dave Reilly completing the scoring. While praising all his players Tony Myers paid particular tribute to youth team ‘keeper Mark Parker whose second half saves against Heybridge ensured maximum points. |
