Man of the match striker Ellis Turner.


Little Oakley Blues 0 Tempest Blues 1
Little Oakley started the game defending very deep and tempest took full advantage of this. Tempest played a very good passing game and had Oakley on the back foot. Callum Mallett in the Oakley goal kept the score level with a string of great saves.

Oakley started the second half better and was starting to put a passing game together. Oakley went for the win and changed the formation with only one defender. This put more pressure on the Tempest goal. With the Oakley team pressing forward. 

Tempest went on to score after a one on one with the keeper. Callum Mallett making a superb save on the first attempt on goal but Tempest managed to slot the ball into the bottom corner of the net on a second attempt.

Team Callum Mallett, Mathew Smith, Adam Brown, Tyler Sullivan, Brandon Manning, Laim Clacket, Jack Murray, Nathan Southgate.

Clacton Utd Pumas  5 Concord Rangers         1

The Pumas continued to fly the flag for north Essex in the Essex County Cup this week with a fine win over Concord Rangers from Canvey Island.  The game started with the visitors having slightly more possession, but they were unable to make any scoring opportunities.  The hosts the took control of the game and Ben Austin headed home Chad Russells corner to put the Pumas 1-0up, Russell then added a 2ND when Harry Johnson's shot rebounded off the post to finish the 1st half 2-0 up.  Five minutes after the re-start Austin got his 2ND and Clactons third and the home team looked comfortable.  The move of the game saw Austins cross volleyed home at the back post by Nicky Poole for the 4th.  The visitors then grabbed a consolation but Clacton had the last word when Austins maisey run completed a fine all round display with his hat-trick. M-O-M went to Daniel Davies.  Pumas are now in the last 16 in Essex, the next rounds draw will be live on Dream 100 this Saturday.


Under 14's

Cornard Dynamos 0 Lexden Saints Blues 2

Kicking off bright and early blew the cobwebs away even though it wasn’t as cold as the day before.  The pitch was in good condition if a little narrow and Lexden were shooting up the slope in the first half.

  Cornard kept it tight but were undone early in the 4th minute when Deasko Garner latched onto a long throw and banged it over the keepers head from twelve yards; 1-0.

  With a couple of positional changes on the right, Lexden were looking to get down the flanks but needed to keep their width.  It was almost 2-0 after eight minutes when a corner was headed in but the challenge on the keeper was too strong and the free-kick was duly awarded.

  Knocking the ball about with purpose they continued to pressure but Cornard were finding their feet and positional sense and started to make it difficult by winning a lot of second ball.

  Lewis Axcell almost made it two when he shot wide when well placed and Josh Harrison hit the upright with a header from a Luc Williams cross.  Continuing to work hard Cornard were tackling well and keeping a high tempo which didn’t allow Lexden to settle.  They had a couple of efforts in the latter part of the half and although not really causing a problem they were still in with a shout when only one down.

  Ed Field then made a bursting run after thirty one minutes through the middle and drew the defence.  He passed to the right but the resultant shot from the right didn’t trouble the keeper and the chance went begging.

  The half ended 1-0 with Cornard still in with a shout and they took the opportunity to organise again.  Lexden continued to work but were not finding any opportunities as they have done in recent weeks, which was in the main down to the constant work-rate of the Cornard team.

  A couple of changes were made after sixty minutes but the team continued to make heavy weather of it.  Working hard in the middle of midfield, Field, Harry Webb and Aaron Boots were passing purposefully but the creative spark to unlock the defence was lacking from all.

  In the fifty eighth minute a cracking drive from twenty two yards out by Harry Webb after good work by Leo Reid and Ed Field down the left was destined for the top corner but the Cornard keeper dived athletically to his left and held on for an excellent save.

  When the second came it was a fantastic effort; Elliot Lamb came forward from the back to join the play and he hit an unstoppable shot over the keeper from a good thirty five yards out which sealed the win; 2-0.

Little Oakley Blues 5 Brooklands 2
Oakley ended up comfortably winning this game however had Will Cairns in Goal to thank for keeping the score down when the visitors took the lead through the impressive Miguel in the first 5 minutes, it looked like Brooklands might run riot and ciarns made a string of impressive saves. Oakley then started to get their game together and equalised through Weston who is on a great scoring run. Solid midfield work from Selwyn and Duly resulted in Taylor adding his first of his fine hat trick. Once ahead Oakley continued to apply the pressure and looked comfortable, Jack Palmer blasted in from a yard out to score his first in 2 years, the impressive Taylor then ran onto a through ball from Selwyn and rounded the keeper for his second and Oakley's fourth. Brooklands managed a late flurry and breached the impressive defence of Heath Mack Davies and Kioussis once more to fray the nerves a little but again popped up Taylor with a top drawer finish to leave brooklands deflated.  A fine performance made all the better because Oakley managed to turn the game around themselves when they had not started brightly, showing that this team can be capable of great things. Man on the match Will Cairns.

Brightlingsea Regents 0 – 4 Little Oakley Reds
The Brief before the game to the Oakley boys was to stop the two big players that Regents need for all their play. Sam Warren and Tom Goldsmith dealt with one, and a combination of Tom Kite and Shane Routledge frustrated the other. Oakley soaked up early Regents pressure with the midfield partnership of Jamie Partridge and Lewis Collins winning every thing, Oakley soon took control. The first goal came on 10 minutes after Collins crossed in from the left giving Oli Freke a simple tap in. The second followed two minutes later from Charlie Eldridge who held off two defenders to score. Regents did threaten occasionally But Jordan Bull in goal dealt with any shot easily and Matthew Summers at left back looking comfortable. Oakley’s third was scored by partridge when the ball fell to him on the edge of the box and as Jamie does hit a shot the keeper couldn’t hold.In the second half Regents had the wind with them and were more of a threat, but as with the first half Oakley held their shape and cleared up any loose ball. Oakley’s fourth came via good work between Daryl May and Robbie Young who put a lovely ball through for Freke to chip the keeper. It was only Regents desperate defending that prevented Oakley scoring more.Man of the match Lewis Collins.

Under 15's

Little Oakley 3 Lexden Saints 2
With the bare 11 Oakley went into game on the back of a string of good results, Oakley stormed into a three goal lead with goals from Joss Neale, James Roots and Chris white, but to there credit Lexden led a spirited fight back scoring two goals before half time.
The second half was nip and tuck and with the Oakley lads beginning to tire Lexden were awarded a penalty late on, but once again the mercurial Oakley keeper Sam Cowler dived full stretch to make a great save, this result see's Oakley move into the top four with games in hand
