EAST Thurrock United will be hoping to bounce back after two successive heavy away defats when they entertain Bishops Stortford in the Isthmian Premier on Tuesday evening at Rookery Hill.

The Rocks are likely to come up against three popular former East Thurrock players as the visitors' squad is set to contain goalkeeper Jack Giddens, midfielder Ben Marlow and striker Frankie Merrifield who have all worn the amber shirts with distinction in recent seasons.
