BENS NOTES FOLLOWING TWO PERFORMANCES WHICH FELL WAY BELOW THE STANDARD WE HAVE SET FOR OURSELVES, IT WAS IMPORTANT THAT THE BOYS BROUGHT PERSONALITY TO THE GAME LAST SATURDAY. IT FELT LIKE A GOOD TIME TO FACE UP AGAINST A SIDE WE KNEW NOTHING ABOUT, AND WHO KNEW NOTHING ABOUT US. IN STAGES WE PERFORMED WELL BUT, FROM THE SIDELINES, THE RESULT NEVER FELT IN DOUBT. WE COULD SEE AND FEEL HOW MUCH ENERGY AND DETERMINATION THE SQUAD PUT INTO THEIR GAME. IT WAS GOOD TO SEE THE RETURN OF CAPTAIN, LUKE WILLIAMSON, WHO WASTED NO TIME IN MAKING GOOD FRIENDS WITH THE OPPOSITION, AND FURTHER INTEGRATION OF TWO OF OUR NEWER LADS: FREDDIE FAIREY, WHO PLAYED A FANTASTIC 90 MINUTES IN MIDFIELD AT JUST 16 YEARS OF AGE AND GEORGE BORLEY, WHO STRETCHED THE GAME WITH HIS BALL CONTROL AND PACE WHEN INTRODUCED. LOOKING AHEAD TO THIS SATURDAY, WE FACE RAYLEIGH RESERVES WHO ARE FLYING IN THEIR DIVISION. AFTER WE KNOCKED THEIR FIRST TEAM OUT OF THIS CUP LAST YEAR AT THE SEMI FINAL STAGE, I'M SURE THEY'LL BE LOOKING TO BRING THE FIGHT TO US AND GET A RESULT. RAYLEIGH TOWN ARE A MASSIVELY SUCCESSFUL CLUB, WITH STRONG SIDES THROUGHOUT. OUR LADS WILL NEED TO RUN THEMSELVES INTO THE GROUND AND ADOPT A PLAY TO WIN ATTITUDE THIS WEEKEND AS WE LOOK TO TAKE ANOTHER STEP TOWARDS DEFENDING OUR COUNTY CUP. THE SKIPPER HAS GIVEN A STRICT REMINDER THAT NO FRIDAY NIGHT DRINKS ARE PERMITTED, EVEN THROUGHOUT THE FESTIVE PERIOD, SO EXPECT TO SEE THE LADS FRESH FACED, FIRED UP AND READY TO GO COME 2:15 ON SATURDAY! UP THE SHENNY!

THIS WEEKS OPPONENTS

The First and Reserve teams joined the Essex Olympian League in 1976 and have been reasonably successful in the intervening years.

The Reserve Team whist remaining in the Top Reserve Division surprisingly never won it although they finished Runners Up on 8 occasions. However they have won the Reserve League Cup 3 times and have been beaten finalists on four occasions. They have also been beaten finalists in the Essex Junior Cup. They are now in Div 2 of the recently reconstituted League structure.
