KEY: Fixtures for Tuesday 1st August in blue, fixtures for Wednesday 2nd August in green

Burnham Ramblers v Stansted (Tues 1 Aug, 19:45 BST)

Pete: Both sides lost their opening games of the season at the weekend, Ramblers letting a one-goal lead slip whilst Stansted eventually succumbed to Great Wakering Rovers, so both will want to bounce back. I fancy the visitors to get the points here. Prediction 0-2

Scott:  Burnham welcome Paul Pittuck’s side to Leslie Field. With both sides falling to defeat on Saturday, it is arguable that this match is more important for the hosts. I reckon that this will be a tight contest that will end with honours even. Prediction 1-1

Richard: This is a conservative estimate, considering the home side's opening day defeat and their evident pre-season struggles. Prediction 0-2

Great Wakering Rovers v Barkingside (Tues 1 Aug, 19:45 BST)

Pete: Rovers got their season off to a winning start with victory against Stansted at Burroughs Park whilst for Barkingside this is their first game of the new season after no game at the weekend. Should be a good one this but one I feel GWR will sneak. Prediction 2-1

Scott: Rovers welcome a new-look Barkingside outfit to Burroughs Park. The hosts will be looking to get another home win under their belts though new ‘Side boss Michael Walther will certainly be looking for a good performance in his first league match in charge. I reckon Rovers will edge this one though and come away with all three points. Prediction 3-2

Richard: Barkingside will give Wakering a game. However with decent, experienced signings such as Nobbs and Nash, I think home advantage will count. Prediction 2-1

Hackney Wick v Tower Hamlets (Tues 1 Aug, 19:45 BST)

Pete: Wick began life as a senior team with a come-from-behind win against Burnham Ramblers at Leslie Field and they now welcome local rivals Tower Hamlets for another tough assignment after the visitors pushed Redbridge all the way at the weekend. I feel this one may end all-square. Prediction 1-1

Scott:  Hackney Wick welcome neighbours Tower Hamlets to the Old Spotted Dog. Hamlets impressed in a battling effort on Saturday though the new-look side will certainly look for greater consistency this term, starting here. Wick picked up a decent win at Burnham though I reckon the visitors here will give them a stern test in what could be a good game for the neutral. I believe this will end in a spirited draw. Prediction 2-2

Richard: I will be at this game. Although Hackney Wick got a good result at Burnham, they might find a Tower Hamlets side, who pushed title-favourites Redbridge all the way, a much sterner test. Prediction 3-3

Hullbridge Sports v Southend Manor (Tues 1 Aug, 19:45 BST)

Pete: Sports played out a 2-2 draw with Waltham Forest at Lower Road at the weekend and now welcome local South Essex rivals Southend Manor to Lower Road for which this is Manor's first league game of the season. Manor held Witham Town and Grays Athletic to respectable draws in their final two warm up games and I feel they may get the win here too. Prediction 0-2

Scott: Hullbridge welcome Southend Manor to Lower Road in what is the visitors’ first league match of the campaign. Manor have added some decent players to their squad and the latter half of their pre-season has gone quite well. Hullbridge may need to be on-form to stop the visitors if they find there verve going forward. I reckon Manor will prevail here. Prediction 1-2

Richard: Two sides whom I would expect to be in mid-table come the end of the season, so I'm feeling a draw. Prediction 1-1

Redbridge v Sawbridgeworth Town (Tues 1 Aug, 19:45 BST)

Pete: The hosts left it very late to turn around their match against Tower Hamlets at the weekend but it was a very well-earned three points whilst Sawbridgeworth Town began the season disappointingly after falling to a home loss to West Essex. The Robins could have done without this difficult fixture and I feel Redbridge will take another three points in this one. Prediction 3-1

Scott: Redbridge welcome Sawbridgeworth to Oakside. Both sides had contrasting fortunes at the weekend, and the Watters brothers will definitely be seeking some improvement from their side. Redbridge will also seek to avoid a last-gasp win which they managed last weekend, though the art of ‘winning ugly’ is a trait they’ll want to keep if they are to challenge for promotion this term. It is hard to see past the hosts in this one though they may well have to work for it. Prediction 2-1

Richard: I think Sawbridgeworth will be a good side this season, they will push Redbridge all the way, but I think it will be the Metropolitan Essex side who will come out on top. Prediction 2-1

Takeley v Waltham Forest (Tues 1 Aug, 19:45 BST)

Pete: The hosts began their season with a win against Sporting Bengal United at the weekend and they welcome another East London side in Waltham Forest to Station Road looking to make it two from two. Forest were held by Hullbridge Sports at the weekend so will look to go one better here but I feel the hosts will take the points. Prediction 2-1

Scott: Marc Das’ side welcome Waltham Forest to Station Road. The hosts started well in dispatching Sporting Bengal at the weekend; though if Forest keep the intensity they showed v Hullbridge on Saturday then they may give Takeley a bit of a headache. I still expect the hosts to be too strong though and take the points. Prediction 3-1

Richard: Takeley are one of my tips for the title and will be a tough side to beat on their own patch. Prediction 3-1

West Essex v Sporting Bengal United (Tues 1 Aug, 19:45 BST)

Pete: Barking-based West Essex grabbed a fantastic win at Crofters against Sawbridgeworth Town at the weekend whilst Sporting Bengal were beaten at Takeley. I'm expecting another good win for the hosts here though. Prediction 3-0

Scott: West Essex welcome Bengal to Mayesbrook Park, on the back of an excellent win on Saturday. Again, if the hosts keep up their energy levels and good play, then they could well pick up another victory here. That said, I also think Imrul Gazi will want an improved performance from his Bengal side. Prediction 3-1

Richard: West Essex will improve this season, but I can see it being another season of struggle for Bengal. 

Prediction 4-0

FC Romania v Enfield 1893 (Wed 2 Aug, 19:45 BST)

Pete: The Romanians got their season up and running with a 2-0 win at Wadham Lodge on Saturday and they welcome Harlow-based Enfield to Cheshunt in what is the visitors’ first game of the campaign. I think the hosts will probably take the points here though. Prediction 2-0

Scott: FC Romania welcome Enfield to Theobalds Lane. The hosts started their season well with a win on Saturday, while the visitors start their campaign here. Romania will want to make it two wins from two matches though Enfield have recruited well and in numbers during the summer and I have a gut feeling that they may pull off a surprise win here, if they find their rhythm in what I reckon will be a hard-fought encounter.

Prediction 1-2

Richard: Romania are always a strong side especially at home, Enfield have improved a lot through the summer, but Romania will continue their traditionally good home form. Prediction 4-2

Ilford v Clapton (Wed 2 Aug, 19:45 BST)

Pete: Cricklefield hosts a mouth-watering clash between Ilford and Clapton on Wednesday and both teams experienced differing fortunes at the weekend. The Foxes thumped nine-man Woodford Town 5-0 at Goffs Lane whilst Clapton fell to a disappointing 2-0 loss at Basildon United. This should be a decent game though and one I feel will end in a point each. Prediction 2-2

Scott: Ilford welcome Clapton to Cricklefield. Allan Fenn’s side will be buoyed by their goal-scoring prowess on Saturday and will surely look to capitalise against a Clapton side surprisingly beaten at Basildon at the weekend. If the hosts are on-form, then they could well pull off an important win in this one. Prediction: 2-1

Richard: I'm looking forward to this neighbouring Borough of Newham versus Borough of Redbridge derby, and I can see it being an entertaining draw. Prediction 2-2

Wadham Lodge v Woodford Town (2017) (Wed 2 Aug, 19:45 BST)

Pete: Both sides lost their opening games at the weekend so will want to bounce-back no doubt from those disappointments. And with visiting management Tony Ievoli and Neil Day ex-Lodge it added an extra dimension to this one considering there are ex-Lodge players in Ievoli's squad too. Draw I feel in this one. Prediction 1-1

Scott: Wadham welcome Woodford to Kitchener Road, in a match which sees ex-Lodge manager Tony Ievoli come up against his former club. I have no doubt that both sides will be up for this one and Woodford will certainly look to banish the memory of Saturday’s loss at home to Ilford. This one may well be an entertaining clash though I reckon it’ll be honours even. Prediction 2-2

Richard: Woodford have experienced management in Tony and Neil who will get things right just like they did at Wadham, but I do feel that the home side will come away with a narrow win. Prediction 1-0

Incredibly, as well as being drawn together in the Errington Challenge Cup, West Essex will play Basildon United at Mayesbrook also in the Gordon Brasted Trophy.

Takeley will begin their defence of the newly-renamed Errington Challenge Cup at home to Hullbridge Sports, after the draw was made on the Grassroots Football Show on Thursday night.

Marc Das' holders won the competition (formerly known as the Essex Senior League Cup) by beating M11 corridor rivals Sawbridgeworth Town 1-0 back in May, and they will meet Rob Hodgson's Hullbridge in the second round after both clubs received a bye. The tie of the first round sees fancied title favourites Redbridge and Ilford clash at Oakside Stadium in a 169 derby, and another local clash sees Woodford Town 2017 and Waltham Forest meet.

Redbridge 5 - 1 Newbury Forest

SAT, 22 JUL 2017 | PRE-SEASON FRIENDLY | OAKSIDE

Redbridge continued their pre-season preparation with a 5-1 win over tenants Newbury Forest in the Len Cordell Trophy at Oakside Stadium. Scott W (@ScottMHC14) was there for East London Radiol

Oakside tenants Redbridge and Newbury Forest competed in the Len Cordell Trophy on Saturday.

On a very wet afternoon at Oakside, new-look Essex Senior League side Redbridge took on Essex Olympian League Division One side and tenants Newbury Forest in the traditional pre-season ‘curtain-raiser’ for the Len Cordell Trophy.

The match began fairly evenly as Forest looked to get their noses in-front before Ricky Eaton & Joey May’s side found their proper rhythm. Redbridge forward Brian Moses had one of his side’s early chances, heading over the bar from a corner on ten minutes. Forest, to their credit, did not wilt and forced the Motormen ‘keeper into two saves in the first 20 minutes. Redbridge gradually found their feet going forward though and took the lead on the half-hour through a cool finish by winger Jason Reynolds-Blanche, passing the ball into the right corner from a narrow angle.

Forest had chances to level, though Redbridge extended their advantage with two goals in as many minutes with new signings Sipho Mytanda and Calvin Poku getting on the score-sheet, the latter was a drilled low effort into the left corner.

Half-Time: Redbridge 3 – 0 Newbury Forest

After the break, the rain really lashed down which made conditions awkward for the players. Both sides had chances in the first 15 minutes of the half, Moses once again denied by the impressive Forest ‘keeper. Newbury Forest got one back mid-way through the second half through a good free-kick tucked into the right corner from 18 yards. This seemed to gee the Motormen up further as with 70’ on the watch, Moses got the goal he deserved, a tap-in following an unselfish pass by full-back Eljay Worrell.

Forest could’ve clawed another goal back, but for a good save from the home ‘keeper from a 20-yard free-kick on 74’. Though to be fair, the last 15 minutes saw the hosts have a series of chances, with the Forest ‘keeper pulling off four good saves in this period of time. Redbridge did get another goal though, six minutes from time as midfielder Patrick Damali slotted home from close range. Straight after the goal, Damali drilled another shot wide though Redbridge did more than enough in the second half to deserve the win and the Len Cordell Trophy!

What next?
Redbridge host Essex Olympian Premier side Canning Town at Oakside on Tuesday (kick-off 19:45 BST), before they host Tower Hamlets in their ESL curtain raiser next Saturday (15:00 BST).

Brimsdown 1 - 0 Stansted

SAT, 22 JUL 2017 | PRE-SEASON FRIENDLY | MABLEY GREEN

Stansted's penultimate pre-season match ended in defeat against Brimsdown at Hackney's Mabley Green 4G, on a difficult surface in horrendous conditions.

Stansted travelled to Brimsdown on Saturday in a pre-season friendly

The Airportmen made a fairly bright start to the game and there was a good tempo involved, but no real cut chances were created until the 15th minute when Stansted hit the post following some good play.

Both sides continued to try play some good football in tricky conditions, Brimsdown also went close in the first half with a couple of opportunities. However, the first half finished on a heated note, following a confrontation between Brimsdown's number 5 and a Stansted player, with the Spartan League Division One's player having to be restrained and led away by a team-mate, but the referee blew for half-time four minutes early to try and diffuse the situation.

In the second half, the conditions worsened as the match went on and made the surface extremely slippery, which made it very difficult for both sides to play football. The "hosts" scored the only goal of the game with 10 minutes.

The rain was hammering down very hard and both sides just played out the time on a very slick pitch. Paul Pittuck's side will be disappointed with defeat, but it is a brand new team that is gelling together, and pre-season is all about preparation.

Loyal Stansted supporters Fred and Neville enjoy the pre-season friendly

between Brimsdown and the Airportmen at Mabley Green in the rain

What next?
Stansted are scheduled to travel to Eastern Counties Premier side Wivenhoe Town on Tuesday night (19:45 BST) before the ESL season starts for the Airportmen down at Great Wakering Rovers next Saturday (15:00 BST)

We couldn't do it without you.

Essex Senior League Fixtures: Relegated Rovers host new-look Airportmen on opening day

Great Wakering Rovers will begin their quest to return to the Isthmian League Division One North at the first attempt with a home match against Stansted on Saturday 29th July, as the first Essex Senior League fixtures of the season were released on Friday evening.

The fixtures have had to be compiled manually as a result of a series of technical difficulties involving the FA Full-Time/Whole Game system, which would normally arrange the fixtures by computer, but a nationwide fault in the system has caused mayhem for clubs and leagues around England. The Essex Senior League Committee have been working extremely hard all day and through the night since the constitution was confirmed to get the fixtures released correctly, but August's game have now been scheduled with the league ensuring the remaining months will be issued in due course.

Wakering will meet Stansted at Burroughs Park on the opening day as they did following relegation in 2012, when they beat the Airportmen 4-1 that time. Iain O'Connell's side will look to put a difficult year behind them and hit the ground running as early as possible, against a new-look Stansted side now managed by former Hannakins Farm boss Paul Pittuck.

Great Wakering comfortably beat Stansted 4-1 on the opening day of the 2012-13

season, which co-incidentally will be the case this season, was their first game since

relegation from the Isthmian League the season before.
