East Thurrock vs VCD Athletic
Second placed East Thurrock have closed the gap on league leaders Hampton & Richmond to four points with three games remaining of the season in the Ryman Premier League. East Thurrock will surely need to win all their remaining games if they are to have any chance of claiming the title and coming from three impressive wins in a row, including three goals scored in each of the wins, we think they just might. In their last league outing they came from behind to defeat Wingate & Finchley 3-1 away thanks to a brace from Sam Higgins, who is now on 20 goals for the season. Things couldn’t look much better coming into today’s game against bottom of the table VCD Athletic.
Already relegated VCD Athletic have lost three league games in a row with their poor defence again being at fault. The bottom placed team in the league have conceded 95 times already this season, 53 of those coming away from home, and seem to already have their eyes on next season. An away trip to the highest scoring team in the league (East Thurrock have scored 100 goals this season) is not exactly an enviable task and we believe it could get ugly.
