Grays Athletic 1, Felixstowe and Walton 2

GRAYS snatched defeat from the jaws of victory with another disappointing performance, their fifth successive 2-1 BetVictor Isthmian North defeat on a dreadful run that has seen them collapse from being play-off hopefuls into a team in the bottom half of the table.

THURROCK boxer Kevin Reavell cruised to a 40-36 points victory on Saturday night against a defensively-minded Scott Williams to get his career off to a winning start.

The West Thurrock Boxing Club athlete was fighting for the first time on the bill at the MTK show at the Brentwood Centre.

Soham Town Rangers 1, Aveley 1

AVELEY failed to find the BetVictor Isthmian North won they wanted but managed a late fight to earn a point, even if it came at the expense of a red card for top scorer Alex Akrofi.

Leatherhead 3, East Thurrock United 0

THE scoreline barely tells the story of Saturday's BetVictor Isthmian Premier clash at the Grove where much-depleted East Thurrock left the pitch to strong applause from the handful of travelling supporters.

TWO goals from Thomas Barton put Tilbury back on the winning trail in today's BetVictor Isthmian North clash at Aveley's Parkside ground.

THURROCK boxer Kevin Reavell makes his professional debut tonight (Saturday, 7 March) representing West Thurrock Boxing Club on the MTK show at the Brentwood Centre.

West Thurrock's head trainer Gareth Lawrence has high hopes for Kevin and anticipates that the many fans who are coming to see him will be treated to a skilful display.

BETVICTOR Isthmian North promotion-chasing Aveley and Tilbury will be looking to bounce back with wins to sustain their play-off positions tomorrow (Saturday, 7 March).

Aveley travel to Soham Town Rangers tomorrow afternoon in BetVictor North action.

Thurrock 10, London Cornish 22

THURROCK faced their nemesis, London Cornish, on Saturday at Oakfield and once again succumbed to a disappointing defeat.

Aveley 0, Brentwood Town 0

COMING off the back of Saturday's momentous energy and nerve-sapping FA Trophy quarter-final at Notts County it was perhaps not surprising that Aveley were unable to peak again in Monday night's BetVictor clash against neighbours Brentwood – but you couldn't fault the lack of effort.

THERE was defeat by the same margin for the borough's three BetVictor Isthmian League sides in action this evening (Tuesday, 3 March).

East Thurrock United went down 2-1 at Corinthian Casuals, while Tilbury were beaten at home by the same score by Maldon and Tiptree.
