Preview – East Thurrock Utd – 23 Apr – KO 19:45

We welcome East Thurrock Utd to The Vale tomorrow (Mon 23 Apr) night for our latest Vanarama National League South game kick off 19:45.

Our visitors are currently sitting in 15th place on 50 points from their 39 games played having won 13, drawn 11 and lost 15,  scoring 67 and conceding 74 goals. On their last league outing they suffered a 3-1 away defeat at Gloucester City. When we met back in at the start of September the game finished all square at 1-1.

A great game for the neutral yesterday at The Vale as the crowd were treated to an 8 goal thriller with the final score all square at 4-4 (which  included a hat-trick, 2 sublime overhead kicks, 3 Red Cards, a sprinkling of yellow cards) and some good neat football played by both sides before referee’s final whistle.

Get behind the lads from the off,  make plenty of noise and offer encouragement throughout the 90+ minutes as we go in search of the points on offer.
