Essex Olympian Football League
Essex Junior Cup
Epping 4 Chase 2 aet
Despite being warned Epping were two down within ten minutes after a couple of sloppy mistakes led to two well taken goals from the visitors. After that Epping were always chasing the game and once again managed to score just before the end of the first half through Chris Bailey. This changed the half time talk but did not deflect the criticism of the first ten minutes. Far too many times this season the side have made the job harder for themselves by not listening.
Epping should have wrapped the match up in the second half but a mixture of good goalkeeping and missed chances meant the game went into extra time as only a goal from James Kelly was added to the Epping tally. Epping dominated the extra period and goals from Andrew Mavin and the once again impressive Danny Turpin wrapped up the victory.
Tony Whiteway was superb in the midfield and was complimented by the speedy Beaumont in the second half.
