ERITH TOWN – THEIR SEASON SO FAR:

Erith Town, coming up from the SCEFL league last season, currently sit in 6th on 29 points from 17 games. The Dockers started their season in the FA Cup extra preliminary round against Pagham at home, which they won 6-2. Then in the first league game at home to Ashford, they drew 3-3. Two away games came next, and both were losses to Merstham in the FA Cup preliminary round and Farnham in the FA Trophy preliminary round. Two back-to-back wins in the league cancelled out those losses as they beat Phoenix Sports at home (2-0) and Lancing away (0-1). Away at Holm Park, Erith lost 3-1 in the league but they bounced back to beat AFC Croydon (3-0), then Sittingbourne (4-1) in the Velocity Cup second round as well as Hythe away in the league (0-5). Inconsistent form then hit Erith, losing to both Herne Bay and Eastbourne away, as well as Beckenham at home. They then drew away at Merstham and Sevenoaks but won on home soil against Deal. After losing 1-3 at home to Margate, Erith’s form continued to show inconsistencies, as they won against Broadbridge Heath in the league but lost at home to Dartford, knocking Town out of the Velocity Cup. Since that loss, Erith have gone undefeated in their last five games, winning against East Grinstead, before drawing against Sheppey and AFC Croydon, and they rounded off this run of games with two wins, one in the league against Hythe and a massive 4-7 win away at Cray Wanderers in the London Senior Cup.
