Billericay's defence of the Essex Senior Cup ended at the first hurdle on Tuesday night as the Blues came up against a strong Colchester United side with plenty of league experience. Paul Semakula gave Blues an early lead but the visitors equalised before half time and scored twice more after the break to win the tie.

Billericay ended their long wait for cup success on Monday night as goals from Adam Flanagan and Harrison Chatting saw them win the Essex Senior Cup for the first time since 1976.

Craig Edwards made four changes from the side that won on Saturday, with Harrison Chatting, Jordan Hibbert, Benson Kpaka and Cedric Ngakam coming in to the starting eleven.

Goals from Sean Bonnett-Johnson and James Lawson saw Billericay through to the semi-finals of the Essex Senior Cup on a wet New Lodge evening.

Billericay exited the Essex Senior cup in a low-key game at Aveley on Tuesday. Having already been twice postponed, the tie never really caught the imagination of the sparse crowd.
