WELCOME TO PARKSIDE Good evening, and a warm welcome back to Parkside for tonight’s local derby under lights, for only our third game in nine this season to be played here. I am pleased to be able to welcome the Players, Officials and supporters of Tilbury Football Club who have made the short journey along the A13 to join us. Also, I bid a warm welcome to tonight’s Match Officials who we hope have a good game and have a safe journey home. Finally, we have a game here, only our third of nine this season, but strangely we have only played two Saturday’s at home since the turn of January 2020. That has got to be some kind of record! Two FA competitions, over the past seven days, both away taking our tally to 13 of the last 15 draws in 2 seasons being away from home. Surely again some record. At last though this afternoon’s draw for the 3rd Qualifying Round of the FA Trophy has given us a home tie. Albeit I think we only got that due to an administrative error putting last Saturday’s opponents through, and the computer thinking we were out of the competition!! So, after our penalty drama of Saturday, when every player on the field at full time took one, we are rewarded with a home tie against Southern League Premier Central Division (Step 3) Beaconsfield Town, on Saturday week (31st October). You might remember they were our FA Cup opponents here 2 seasons ago, under the guise of Beaconsfield SYCOB. The score that day saw our visitors take a narrow 2-1 win home. Last Tuesday saw our FA Cup exploits come to an end when we lost a very close game (2-0) at Cray Valley, with an injury time goal making the scoreline a little flattering for our hosts. Their reward is an away tie (no surprise there) to Maidenhead United in the final qualifying round. A tough ask for them, but I am sure they will cause the National League side a few problems. Talking of which, as the country is getting plagued more and more by this awful virus, it is good to see that we are still being allowed spectators at our level. I urge you all to keep socially distanced and adhere to clubs’ protocols at all times. We need to keep non-league football alive and healthy, along with all those that support the game at this level. With that in mind, I hope we are given an entertaining 90 minutes by all those involved and return to watch the Millers this Saturday when Witham Town are our visitors.

After a goalless first half, Freeman slotted past the onrushing David Hughes in the Aveley goal in the 63rd minute and though the Millers pushed for a late leveller with positive contributions from substitutes Alex Clark, Manny Ogunrinde and Freddie Gard, they came up short. Manager Keith Rowland made two changes to the side which won 3-0 at Brantham Athletic at the weekend with George Winn and Harry Donovan starting in place of Jack Mochalski and Freddie Gard respectively, while James Goode returned to the matchday squad following suspension. Brentwood included several former Millers in their matchday squad, including Freeman, James Love, Robbie Rees, Shad Ngandu and Sam Bantick, while Connor Hogan was named on the bench. The first half proved to be a cagey affair, with neither of these sides keen to make an error or hand the other team the initiative in what would be an early indication of how the two sides will fare this season.Neither goalkeeper was tested until 20 minutes in when Millers custodian Hughes was forced to tip over Freeman’s strike, and the resultant corner came to nothing.For the hosts, Mitchell Gilbey was bundled over in the box by Rob Swaine, but referee Rhys Battye waved away optimistic penalty appeals. Freeman proved to be a thorn in his former side all night, and from a free kick lofted into the box he saw his header cleared off the line by an alert Jason Ring at the back post. As the half drew to a close, the Millers almost broke the deadlock when Wyan Reid’s free kick was nodded goalwards on the stretch by Steve Sheehan, however the effort was off target and the scores remained goalless at the break. Half time | Aveley 0-0 Brentwood Town. Neither side made changes at the break and it was the hosts who created the first opening of the second period. isthmian north - matchday #3 05/10/2020 0-1 Mitchell Gilbey’s inswinging free kick just evaded the advances of the Millers attackers and it drifted just wide of Edwards’ goal.As the game wore on, you could tell the game was likely to be decided by a single goal, and that came in the 63rd minute. Confusion in the middle of the park between Gilbey and Donovan presented Brentwood with the opportunity to break forward. The ball found its way to Freeman who shrugged off the Millers backline and coolly slotted underneath an advancing Hughes, much to the delight of the travelling Brentwood contingent.
