Aveley 1-1 Great Wakering Rovers
From Mill Field
Ryman One North
GREAT Wakering Rovers battled to a valiant point at Aveley, and may feel aggrieved not to have taken all three.
Jake Gordon hit his first for the club, after Abs Seymour had given the hosts a fourth minute advantage.
It didn’t take long for Aveley to get into their stride, as Seymour broke through the Rovers backline and beat Adam Seal.
Minutes later it was almost 2-0, as Petrit Elbi dinked a fine effort over Seal but onto the crossbar.
And somewhat against the run of play Rovers drew level after 15 minutes. In Rovers’ first attack, Gordon, recently signed from Brightlingsea, struck a delightful shot over Marrable and into the net.
Ahmed Deen was kept out by Seal soon after but Rovers were growing into the game. Eljay Worrell put the ball into the net after Jacob Cleaver was denied, only for the offside flag to keep the scores level.
After the break, Gordon was denied a second goal by another offside flag, with Millers’ James Peagram and Rovers’ Jay Nash testing the goalkeepers.
Seymour shot wide late on but neither side found the decisive goal, with the points shared.
