Review
This was a chaity game for the Hyson Greene Kiddie's Fund. The Tilbury keeper Merchant went off with concussion early in the 2nd half. Tilbury bought on Appleford, and left back Hockley went in goal where he then saved a penalty from Frank Knight. Two of our players (Arnold Mitchell and John Kirk) played their only games for us today.
