The anti-climax of a league match after a cup final was evident as the young Blues didn't reach the high levels of late, but still notched up a victory at Hornchurch.
The young Blues regained the League cup after a dominant display in an entertaining match at Potters Bar.
Billericay started bright and forced two early corners. From Rydings second corner on 3 minutes, East Thurrock failed to clear and James Shadwell fired home from six yards. The Blues continued to dominate and they extended their lead after 30 minutes. Harry Skinner finished off a great passing move with a lethal shot into the far corner.
Ten minutes into the second half the game seemed all over as Josh Bardouleau pounced onto a mistake in Utd's defence and although his initial shot hit the post, the Blues striker reacted quickest to fire home the rebound. East Thurrock to their credit kept on going and hit a consolation goal, but victory was never in doubt for the young Blues
U18s: Calum Blair, Harvey Elsom, Frank Fenton, Tom Tadese, James Shadwell, Declan Rydings, Harry Skinner, Zack Toye, Josh Bardouleau, Matt Williams, Richard Hall, Andres Felipe, Haile Soloman, Bobby Deemer, Mustapha Kahie, Jack Robson, Matt Cooper
Come and support Billericay Town's Under 18s in the League Cup final this Sunday 7th April at Potters Bar FC, Parkfield Stadium, Watkins Rise (off the walk), Potters Bar EN6 1QB. Kick off is at 1.30pm. The Blues opponents are East Thurrock United. Entrance is £3.50.
Billericay suffered a knockout blow during stoppage time in this entertaining County cup semi final match to deny them another cup final. The young Blues started well and created some good chances whilst having the better of the first half and nearly took the lead when Declan Rydings hit the bar. Rydings then had a shot well saved before the home side broke and scored on the stoke of half time. The second period was end to end football until Tom Tadese hit a deserved equaliser, and then there only looked like one winner as the Blues dominated, but as extra time beckoned, a long clearance wasn't dealt with allowing Thurrock to avenge their defeat to the Blues in the League Cup semi.
Billericay started well and had a first half goal ruled out, but continued to dominate throughout and although they failed to to convert their chances, things look good with the young crop of players coming through to add to the 18's
Having a minimum of 13 games to fit in with five weeks of the season remaining, the young Blues fielded a mixture of U18's and U17's players in this league match which was played on Saturday evening.
