Dockers Start with a Win

Tilbury started pre season with a 3-1 win over Eastern Counties side Burnham Ramblers on Tuesday night.

Manager Marc Harrison introduced 22 players throughout the evening, including 3 current Under 18 players.

Tilbury took the lead inside 2 minutes when new signing John Easterford back post header found the head of Billy Purdy to score. Just after the break, Tilbury went 2-0 up when Burnham Ramblers did not clear and a cheeky chip by George Sykes went into the roof of the net. Following a good period for Tilbury, returning Toby Aromolaran volleyed home to make it 3. In the final 2 minutes, Tilbury did no clear and Burnham scored a consolation goal.
