I am absolutely disgusted by some of the comments that were made to Staines Town goalkeeper Jack Turner. The young lad wears pink to support his mother and raise awareness of breast Cancer.

Banter with the keepers is normal, and expected, but making comments about the wellbeing of the lad’s mother is despicable.

I want to make this clear. Whoever said those things about both his mother and father, are no longer welcome at Billericay Town FC. If anyone knows who it was, and points them out, we will have them removed from the ground.

I am mindful that the people who made the comments may well be young, and perhaps not really understanding the severity of their comments, however, their ignorance is not a good enough excuse to let such things go.

Steve.

The Blues battled back bravely to 2-2, from 2-0 down, thanks to two goals from loanee Blaine Hudson (in his last game for the club), before conceding the winning goal in the 92nd minute.

Farnborough have reduced the admission charges for our league game  at Cherrywood Road next Tuesday.

These will now be:

Adults £8
Concessions £5
Under 16s Free

Blues welcome Staines to New Lodge for must win game

It’s a make or break week for the Blues this week as they go into 2 games that could either see them climb out of the bottom 3 of the Conference South or consign themselves to a final week battle to beat relegation back to the Ryman League.

Manager Craig Edwards saw his depleted squad well beaten by Salisbury City at New Lodge on Saturday and will be hopeful of patching them up in a final throw of the dice for survival.

Rob Swaine suffered a knee injury during Saturday’s game which meant he had to leave the action before the end of the 90 minutes. Chris Wild managed to complete the game with groin injury as did Jay May who also managed to complete the game despite being ill with a virus in addition to his ongoing groin complaint.

Edwards will monitor all 3 players up until kick off in a game that sees Blaine Hudson’s last appearance for the Blues on loan before his return to Cambridge Utd.

17^th placed Staines lost at Tonbridge Angels on Saturday and Manager Marcus Gayle describes the game as ‘A massive game for us, our cup final’

Kick off is at 19.45

Admission is £12 for adults, £8 for concessions and £3 for under 16’s.

The Blues kept up the pressure at the top of table with a victory in windy and boggy conditions. Billericay's Richard Hall scored the all important goal with a 30 yard free kick midway through the first half. 

Billericay Town U17s 3-1 Buckhurst Hill U17s
On Sunday the U17's emulated the U18's and reached the Eastern Junior Alliance cup final by beating Buckhurst Hill away 3-1.

Billericay LFC 3-0 Acle LFC
Billericay Town LFC secured a second successive League Cup Final by beating Acle in the Semi Final played at Hertford FC.

The Blues relegation fears continued as they went down to their 3rd consecutive defeat. Rob Swaine opened the scoring on 2 minutes when he struck home a sweetly timed volley. Salisbury equalised on 32 minutes and wrapped the game up on 73 minutes when James White drilled home. The Blues will be looking for all 3 points on Tuesday night when Staines visit to keep their faint survival hopes alive.
