Defending U18 Challenge Cup holders Billericay Town just can't seem to get off the M25 these days, with yet another long trip taking them to the edge of the moon and back, playing humble guests to Brentford CST.

Thurrock U18s 1-2 Billericay Town U18s (HT 0-1)

Match report by John Mifsud.
 
Unfortunately, and not for the first time, the hosts found themselves on the wrong side of a score line, against a team and in a competition that really matters?  Billericay Town F.C. and the County Cup. This well fancied  BSS (Blue Square Side) did little to dent our very own abbreviation of BBS  meaning (Billericay Blue Steel).

Congratulations to Mike Marsh and Billy Radley who both played for the Eastern Junior Alliance U18s yesterday at Tottenham Hotspur U18s.

Mike Marsh, who has been scoring prolifically this season, netted a first half hat-trick as the EJA side thrashed Spurs 4-0.

Two of our U18's players, Mike Marsh & Billy Radley, have been selected by the U18's Eastern Junior Alliance representative manager to play in a friendly fixture against Tottenham Hotspur U18's tomorrow afternoon.

Details:
Date: Wednesday 30th December 2009
Kickoff: 14:00
Venue: White Hart Lane Community Sports Centre, White Hart Lane, Wood Green, London N22 5QW.

If you are free tomorrow afternoon, please go along and support the lads against what will no doubt be a very strong Spurs youth team.

As the Great Japanese Admiral Yamamoto said after the attack on Pearl Harbour 'I fear all we have done is to awaken a sleeping giant.'

No sooner had the early morning sun begun thawing out the New Lodge pitch, the young Blues kicked off - playing their only game in just under a month in this eagerly awaited encounter.

Our congratulations go out to Kofi Kessie and Billy Radley, who were both selected to play for the County, in the Counties U18s Championship.
Both players played, having extrememy good debuts. Kessie fired home an important equaliser in the second half with a superb solo goal to give Essex a well deserved away draw at Norfolk.
Well done Lads!

Eastern Junior Alliance League
Sunday 11th October

Young Blues hit Harlow Town for Nine.

Match report by John Mifsud.

The young guns carried on in their winning ways after a trip up to Harlow Town. The game started very lively with some neat passing from both sides. The young blues had to wait until the 25th minute before the first breakthrough, when Billericay were awarded a penalty. Harlow's Shane Turner was deemed to have handled the ball in the penalty area, so up stepped Mike Marsh only to slot the ball wide, no doubt had Pizza Hut on his mind!  But all was forgiven when 5 minutes later they were awarded a free kick for which Brad Hooper coolly slid the ball to Billy Radley who span off the wall and slid an inch perfect cross for Kofi Kessie to get his first goal of the day - a training day set-piece that paid off. Then on 35 minutes, Kessie was put through with a killer pass from Hooper to see him slot the ball past the helpless oncoming Harlow's keeper to claim his second of the day. On 40 minutes Harlow's Dan Westall hit an unstoppable great driver but Town's keeper Lewis Lockyer was equal to it, pulling off the save of the season to push the ball across the goal on to the cross bar.
