Brightlingsea Regent 0, Aveley 6

THINGS turned out very much as expected at the Taydal Stadium where Aveley crushed the home side who are struggling just a place off the bottom of the table.

Millers got off to a great start and completely dominated the opening exchanges and they were rewarded when Blaise Riley-Snow fired home on 11 minutes.

Regent did manage the odd chance and might have equalised from a couple of chances midway through the half but they spurned both opportunities.

There were plenty of goal celebrations for Millers on Saturday. Picture by Kevin Lamb (Lambpix).

Still, it looked as if they would get to the break just a goal behind but the Millers' pressure told as they cracked twice just before half time.

The first goal came on 45 minutes when a corner was powerfully headed home by Harry Gibbs and then George Sykes laid a great backheel to Kayne Diedrick-Roberts who in turn set up Kenny Aileru to score.

The second half was 11 minutes old when Ryan Scott got the first of a brace with a header into the corner of the net and he followed up with his second on 89 minutes, this time a shot that rippled the net.

And there was still time for a sixth as Roberts got his fourth assist, setting up Aileru who went round the keeper and tapped in.

Millers are back in action on Tuesday with a league trip to Lewes.
