From Rookery Hill

Ryman Premier Division

 

EAST Thurrock United marched into the play-offs with an impressive 4-0 win over Peacehaven & Telscombe.

It was the first time the two sides had met in the Ryman Premier Division, but it was the home side that looked in charge from the off, with a brace from Sam Higgins and also strikes from Connor Witherspoon and David Bryant.

Rocks took the lead with 30 minutes on the clock, with Higgins on the mark for the home side.

Witherspoon got in on the act five minutes before half-time, although it wasn’t until 15 minutes from time that the game was made safe.

Bryant, returning from a suspension, netted before Higgins scored his 28th goal of another remarkable season in the closing moments.

Rocks host play-off rivals Leiston on Saturday.
