THE PREVIEW: East Thurrock couldn’t be in better form at the moment. They come into this match on the back of six straight victories, following their 5-0 win over Tiverton in the FA Trophy at the weekend.

Rocks sit 13th in the league, albeit with up to five games in hand on some of the sides above them while Needham are languishing in 21st, although did win their first away game of the season on Saturday.

WHAT HE SAID: Rocks boss John Coventry said: “Things are going well at the moment but w will have it tough tonight.

“We played the reverse fixture a fortnight ago and won (3-1) but they are in a different place this time, having won at Hendon which is a hard place to get a result.

“Lewis Smith, Rickie Hayles and Ryan Scott were superb on Saturday and we hope that continues tonight.”
