JUST three days after the departure of manager Keith Rowland Tilbury recorded a much-needed win in the Isthmian North.

With new interim boss Eljay Worrell at the helm Dockers took three points thanks to a last-gasp winner against visiting Bury Town at Chadfields.

Chris Millar gave Tilbury the lead after 25 minutes, but with 19 minutes to go the visitors drew level, Cemal Ramadan getting his 15th of the campaign, and Town – who still harbour promotion hopes - must have thought they'd be good for at least a point but at the death Tilbury striker Roman Campbell notched his tenth of the season which lifted the Dockers up to thirteenth, one place and four points behind Town.

East Thurrock United's desperate hope for a change of fortunes once against proved unfulfilled – but it took a penalty shoot-out for Isthmian North Barking to knock them out of the Velocity Trophy.

Barking played host to the Premier Division bottom club were five minutes away from winning the match in normal time, but in the end had to triumph in a penalty shootout.

The Barking opener also came from the spot, Manuchim Oke-Williams scoring a minute before the break, but the visiting Rocks drew level five minutes before the end, an own goal doing the damage. In the shoot-out Barking were perfect from 12 yards and triumphed by five goals to three.
