Billericay left it late on Tuesday, but Chris Wild's injury time goal was enough to give them the three points they so desperately wanted against Hendon. Town have been on the receiving end of a few late goals this season, not least when they visited Hendon early in the season, and this win goes some way to redressing the balance.
Statham ‘Blues are a match for any side in the Division’
Match preview by Paul Jennings.
As the rest of the Ryman League recovers from the shock of Billericay’s 4-1 victory at runaway league leaders Dartford, Blues boss Brian Statham revelled in Saturday’s performance ahead of Hendon’s visit to New Lodge on Tuesday evening.
‘It was an excellent performance and a justified result.’ said Statham. ‘I would like to think that we have found our scoring touch and go on creating and taking our chances.’
Some of you may recall that back in August the BBC were at New Lodge on a Tuesday night (our home league game against Waltham Abbey) filming for an upcoming reality series.
Well that programme is now airing. Episode 1 of 'Undercover Princesses' went out on BBC Three on Sunday night, and the remaining 3 episodes will follow over the next three Sundays (at 21:00).
It's not clear which episode the Club will feature in, but I'm sure we'll all be watching to see what the Princesses made of the non-league scene!
If you missed episode 1, you can see it on the BBC iPlayer here.
Billericay Town striker James Baker has been released from the Club.
Manager Brian Statham said "After some consideration I have released James Baker from the club. I spoke with James at length last Friday and explained that I had arranged for him to go out on loan to get first team football as he would find it difficult to start games with the two recent signings and Billy Bricknell recovering from his injury. James felt that that option wouldn't be in his best interests at this stage as he has a slight knee injury which he wants to see a specialist about before committing to anything.
I would like to place on record my thanks to James for his time at Billericay Town football club and wish him all the very best for the future."

Billericay produced a stunning performance at Champions elect Dartford to ease their relegation fears and complete a league double over the runaway leaders in the process.
On a gloriously sunny day at Dartford’s Princes Park Stadium, Brian Statham made one change to the side that was defeated at Maidstone on Tuesday night - Greg Oates coming in for a straight swap with Dave McSweeney.
Thursday night saw a young Town team bow out in the 4th Round of the Isthmian League Cup, to what was pretty much a full strength Sittingbourne side. Mindful that the Blues had three games in a week and need to concentrate on their league campaign, Blues Boss Statham selected only Oates, Street, Cleaver and Marsh from squad that had lost to Maidstone on Tuesday night, with Russell Pond also returning after missing that game.
Although Billericay make the journey to runaway league leaders Dartford on Saturday as massive underdogs, they travel with a victory against the Champions elect already under their belt this season.
That 1-0 victory came at the start of February and Blues boss Brian Statham knows that a performance as stirring as the one at New Lodge will be a massive boost ahead of two vital home games next week.
