Our Essex non-league sides have had to endure a busy schedule lately but here are their results from Easter Monday’s action.
Vanarama National League
Southend United were held to a 1-1 draw to fellow promotion hopefuls Woking. Jack Bridge’s second-half goal ensured the spoils were shared at The Laithwaite Community Stadium. Dagenham & Redbridge meanwhile fell to a 1-0 defeat to Chesterfield.
Vanarama National League South
Chelmsford City were unable to make it five consecutive wins as they lost 3-1 to Oxford City. Braintree Town secured a magnificent 3-2 win over already-promoted Ebbsfleet United, helped by a Chris Solly own goal and two from Alfie Pavey and Kryan Clements.
Concord Rangers came close to securing a draw with St. Albans City but Shaun Jeffers’ goal with minutes remaining ensured they lost 2-1.
Isthmian Premier Division
Hornchurch couldn’t mount the pressure on table-topping Bishop’s Stortford as they shared the spoils with Carshalton Athletic. The huge Essex derby between Canvey Island and Aveley was called off due to a failed pitch inspection after persistent rain.
Billericay Town’s played Bowers & Pitsea with the Blues running out as 3-2 victors, despite a late Bowers comeback.
Isthmian North Division
Hashtag United made a step closer to promotion with a 4-1 victory over Witham Town, courtesy of goals from Pedro Carvalho, Thomas Anderson, Lewis Watson and Jermaine Francis. Heybridge Swifts beat Great Wakering Rovers 2-0 and Grays Athletic were victorious against East Thurrock United in a 1-0 win.
Hullbridge Sports’ relegation concerns grew ever larger as Maldon & Tiptree got the better of them with a 2-1 win. Also, Basildon United drew 2-2 at New Salamis. Tilbury and Brentwood Town were not in action as the two face off at Chadfields tonight.
Southern League Division One Central
In the Southern League Division One Central, none of our sides were in action – with Walthamstow and Waltham Abbey playing each other tonight.
