Football disco

Friday 24 November 2023, May & Baker 2 Southend Manor 2 - Eastern Counties League, Division 1, South, Parkside Aveley.



A very cold night close to the M25, even first 15 minutes then the home team dominated the rest of the half but somehow failed to score- Southend struggled to deal with every corner that May & Baker had.


Second half, was bit scrappier but in the 71st minute the home team took the lead from a well struck shot and added a second from the penalty spot 7 minutes later, that seemed game over as Southend had not offered much going forward, then in the 86th minute a goalmouth scramble saw the visitors get a goal back and then totally against the run of play they drew level in the last minute. The Ref found about 11 minutes injury time but no further goals.


Not many more games left for May & Baker here, as they prepare to move to their new ground, they had the small bar open tonight as the main bar had a birthday party on, so the game was played out to the sound of loud 80's disco music!.
