Shane Baptiste's side travelled to the Royal Oak Stadium on Tuesday night, hoping to make further ground on our run in the BBC Essex Senior Cup, which had seen us beat Wivenhoe Town and Rayleigh Town 4-1 and 5-1, respectively, in the two previous rounds.

Despite taking the lead through Yemi Adelani on 27 minutes, a second-half turnaround from the hosts through goals from Zachary Pedro and Shaun Avis, who struck with three minutes of the ninety to go, saw us fall to defeat.

Starting XI: Chinyere (GK); Steele, Kirwan-Meade (C), Mitchell-Nelson, John; Toussaint, Jewers (McGovern - 90+1'), Christou (Protic - 53'); Ahmed, Adelani, Gokou.

Unused substitutes: Tea, Ipanga.
