East Thurrock United 3, Horsham 2

ROCKS recorded their first win of the season at Rookery Hill this evening (Tuesday, 20 October) to move off the foot of the Isthmian Premier.

Luke Illsley gave them a 12th minute lead cancelled out just before the half hour by Charlie Harris.

Zenon Stylianides restored the advantage three minutes before half time and added his second early in the second half.

Horsham got one back through Harris on 64 minutes but the hosts held on for victory thanks to a backs to the wall effort and fine work from keeper Arthur Janata.
