THURROCK mens firsts pick up their Essex Counties One campaign with a trip to Mavericks today (Saturday, 4 October).

Something will have to give as the teams are second and third in the table, with Mavericks marginally ahead on points difference. The sides have both won their opening two matches.

Mavericks are a Brentwood-based side, playing at Warley Playing Fields.

Thurrock Seconds are also away, travelling to Romford. Both matches kick off at 3pm.

Thurrock's ladies side, the T-Birds, are in action tomorrow with a trip to Sutton and Epsom, who are bottom of the Championship South, without a win from their opening two matches. T-Birds sit fourth.
