East Thurrock United 0, Hashtag United 4

FRIDAY night football at Rookery Hill brought a bumper crowd of 607 but there was little else to cheer the hosts as promotion-chasing Tags dominated the match to sustain their play-off zone position and keep the pressure on Isthmian North leaders AFC Sudbury. 

In 27th minute Hashtag's Toby Alomoloran broke free in the Rocks penalty area before firing home to put the away side ahead. 

Just three minutes later it was 2-0 when former Rock Tommy Anderson nodded home from a corner.

Tags made sure of the points in the 74th minute when another former East Thurrock player Max Cornhill followed up in the area, to make it 0-3, after an fumble by home keeper Montel Joseph.

And in the 86th minute Hashtag's Greg Halford converted from the spot after a rash challenge in the area by Jack McQueen.
