Essex Premier Cup, Third Round
Gas Recreation 3 Buckhurst Hill 0 (att 30)
A cup tie which paired teams from the top tiers of the Essex and Suffolk Border League and the Essex Olympian League, and it was the Border league which came out on top. No surprise really, as "The Gas" have been among the league's top sides for several years.
Buckhurst Hill battled well, but never recovered from going a goal behind inside the opening 30 seconds. Gas Rec were 2-0 ahead by half time, and didn't look like losing their grip on the tie during a second half in which the visitors pressed and created chances, but looked vulnerable at the back, eventually conceding a third.
The Bromley Road ground in Colchester is basic but pleasant. The main feature is a pavilion, with the club's nickname picked out on the tiled roof, and which houses changing rooms and a tea bar, while the pitch is partly fenced off and mostly roped off.
Ground no 3,676
