| Another record equalled 23rd November 2006 |
Our victory over Brimsdown Rovers on Tuesday night was our eleventh in succession which equals the club record. This was originally set in 1927-28 and equalled by our Isthmian League championship team in 1978-79. It was also equalled twice by the Under 18’s in 2005-06.
Note: although we are undefeated in twelve games, we actually eliminated Clacton Town from the Essex Senior Cup by winning the penalty kick decider the official result of the game was a draw. |

| Congratulations Marsh marchs on 19th November 2006 |
Our congratulations and thanks to our popular coach Ashley Marsh who made his 200th appearance for us in Saturday’s game. Ashley would undoubtedly have reached this achievement sooner had it not been for his serious injury at Sittingbourne in March 2005. His continued involvement after his ordeal is a testament to his strength of character and determination. |

Our injury list is growing with Stuart Brown, Bradley Jones and Jason Henry all currently ruled out. On the positive side Paul Carr is second and Wayne Vaughan fourth in the ESL goal scorers table with 13 and 12 league and league cup goals. Bradley Ross made his senior competitive debut against London APSA on Saturday and after his goal scoring feats for the youth and reserve sides he almost scored with his first touch, APSA’s goalkeeper needing two attempts to save his shot. |

| Essex Senior cup draw 11th October 2006 |
 Unfortunately, the Club has had to release the ever popular Dave Reilly (pictured left). "Dangerous" as he is more commonly known has recently found it more and more difficult to combine his work and footballing commitments. Manager Jay Devereux had this to say "We will all miss him as he is genuinely a great character and has been a terrific servant to the club over a number of spells."
Good Luck Dave and thank you.
