Tilbury’s stay at the top of Ryman League Division One North lasted no more than 24 hours.

They were overtaken by neighbours Grays on Wednesday, though only just. Kenny Beaney grabbed an 89th-minute goal to secure a 2-1 win at Waltham Forest. Joe Sweeney’s fourth goal in two games, ten minutes after half-time, put Grays in front but the visitors drew level with a Josh Bonnett penalty 13 minutes from time and were set to share the points until Beaney struck. There was even later drama in the division’s other game. Dean Standen converted a low free-kick from Scott Mulholland to equalise for Thamesmead in the fourth and last minute of added time against Brentwood. Both sides thus collected their first point of the season and, indeed, scored their first goal. The Essex club, playing this home game at Aveley because their own pitch was not ready, had taken the lead in added time at the end of the first half when Jose Espinosa headed in a perfect cross from James Love. Brentwood’s home game against Harlow on Saturday will be played at Billericay but they hope it will be the last fixture that has to be moved.
