evening and welcom
e to our old friendsfrom
Great W
akering Rovers for tonight’s E
ssexS
enior Cup Third
Round tie.
It’s been a while since w
e played Rovers
competitively and they arrive at R
ookery Hill
tonight under the managem
ent of Gary A
nsell,w
ho includes two spells as a R
ocks player onhis footballing C
V.Following the resignation of
Dan Trenkell, G
ary recently stepped up and totake over as caretaker boss and he now
hasthe R
overs hot seat on a permanent basis.
I am sure everyone at E
ast Thurrock will join
me in w
ishing him w
ell as he starts hism
anagerial career.Tonight’s com
petition is one in which w
ehaven’t enjoyed great success and I know
thatm
anager John Coventry w
ould like to have agood run in the cup but of courseany team
selection is going to betem
pered by the state of the club’splaying resources and the pressure
from other com
petitions and with a lengthy
injury list and an FATrophy tie com
ing up at thew
eekend it may be that a few
players get a resttonight.
How
ever, the sprit in the squad that has beengrow
ing in recent weeks, culm
inating inS
aturday’s excellent performance against
Ham
pton and Richm
ond Borough m
eans, I amsure, that w
ho is selected will be approaching
the game w
ith a determination to do w
ell.W
hatever happens, tonight’s match w
ill beplayed to a conclusion, w
ith a penalty shoot-outto sort things out if required.
Looking ahead, we have a very tough gam
eagainst Tiverton Tow
n on Saturday in the
Trophy.It’s going to be a costly m
atch to stagebecause w
e have to meet the travelling expens-
es of the Devon side so hopefully local folk w
illturn out to support us.If you get the chance,please spread the w
ord and hopefully we w
illget a decent crow
d to help cheer the lads on astage nearer to W
embley!

evening to everyone, particularly Gary
Ansell w
ho is just starting out on hism
anagerial career.Gary is a real character
and I am sure he w
ill enjoy the many
challenges that this job brings with it.
He has plenty of experience in the gam
eand I am
sure he will have absorbed a lot
from all the people he has w
orked with and I
am sure he is a good fit for a club like R
overs.I am
certain that he will have got his side
all revved up for tonight’s match and they w
illgive us a real test.
The E
ssex Senior C
up is one of thosecom
petitions that you want to do w
ell in and Im
ust admit that having attended a couple of
recent finals it’s one of the things I would like
to experience but sometim
es you have to putthings in order of im
portance and with our
being still involved in the FA Trophy and h
aving just put a string of results together thathave have set us up w
ell in the league itcertainly affects the w
ay we go about
selecting a side for tonight.In addition, w
e have been hit by a run ofquite serious injuries that has put a lot ofpressure on the squad.O
f course you have todeal w
ith all those things, which is the
challenge of the game but it does m
ean thatw
e have to prioritise.H
aving said that, sometim
es adversity canbring challenges and opportunities and at the
time of w
riting it’s likely that a couple ofplayers w
ho have been on the fringe will get
the chance to lay down a m
arker.I whole-
heartedly believe in the ability of everyone inour squad so you can be certain that w
e havethe ability to do w
ell tonight, like most gam
esit’s all about attitude and how
our playersapproach the gam
e.I have to say that I couldn’t have been
prouder of the squad last Saturday against
Ham
pton, it was a terrific perform
ance fromfront to back and an exam
ple of what can be
achieved when the attitude and spirit is right.
Make no m
istake, Ham
pton are a decentside and the fact that w
e matched them
inevery departm
ent was really pleasing.
Enjoy the gam
e tonight, C
heers

E club w
as formed in
1919 by soldiers demobbed
after World W
ar I and findingem
ployment in the local
brickfields.They first played
in the Southend &
District
League, where they played
until 1982, being the league'sm
ost dominant club especial-
ly in the 1960s and 1970s.In1982 they sw
itched to thenew
ly formed S
outhend &D
istrict Alliance Football
League, but this leaguefolded in 1989.A
t this pointthe club decided to m
ake thestep up to interm
ediate leveland join the E
ssexInterm
ediate League.T
hey remained in this
league for three seasons,w
inning the championships
of Divisions T
hree and Two in
successive seasons, after the latter of which
they successfully applied to join the Essex
Senior League.T
hey were league cham
pions in1994-95 and w
ere league runners-up threetim
es in the subsequent four seasons.On the
last of these occasions they finished in secondplace behind S
affron Walden Tow
n, but as thelatter club failed to m
eet the ground gradingrequirem
ents for a place in the Isthmian
League, Great W
akering Rovers w
ere promot-
ed in their place, gaining a place in Isthmian
League Division T
hree for the 1999-00 season.A
t the first attempt they w
ere promoted to
Division Tw
o, then moved to D
ivision One N
orthin 2002 due to league reorganisation.F
urtherreorganisations saw
them sw
itched to theS
outhern Football League Eastern D
ivision fora shot spell but they w
ere soon switched back
to Isthmian League D
ivision One N
orth.T
he 2009-2010 season brought a recordnum
ber of points for the Rovers at R
yman
League level, 64, but towards the end of the
season manager Iain O
'Connell took over at
Rym
an Prem
ier side Margate leaving assistant
Ryan W
ilkinson and physio Cleve Taylor to take
over temporary control w
ith 12 games to go.
During the close season of 2010, R
yan andC
leve were m
ade joint managers w
ithD
anny Heath being prom
oted from reserve
team m
anager to first team coach to join a new
managem
ent team.
During the 2011-2012 season, after a poor
run of results, Ryan W
ilkinson and Cleve Taylor
decided that it was tim
e to move on and
resigned, leaving coach Danny H
eath asC
aretaker Manager.A
fter a short period where
new m
anagers were interview
ed, Danny
Greaves w
as installed as manager and took
charge for his first game on 29th O
ctober 2011,but saw
his side lose 2-0 away at Leiston.
Unfortunately, D
anny's reign wouldn't last long
as his side would lose 6 gam
es in 6, scoring 4and conceding 21, leaving D
anny with no
option than to resign.O
nce again Danny H
eath would take over as
Caretaker M
anager although Dan Trenkel w
ouldbe installed as the new
Player-M
anager within
two gam
es.Trenkel, a R
overs youth and reserve player,joined the first team
for his debut on the 4thA
pril 2001, has played over 300 games for the
club and imm
ediately made a start on shoring
up the frail defence which had conceded 52
goals before his arrival.Dan Trenkel.
How
ever, this season saw R
overs struggleand a couple of w
eeks ago Trenkell announcedhis decision to stand dow
n.Gary A
nsell initiallytook over on a caretaker basis but he has sincebeen given the perm
anent job.

ST Thurrock U
nited manager John C
oventry was
delighted after Saturday’s R
yman P
remier w
in atR
ookery Hilll, describing his m
akeshift side’s perform-
ance as “just the way you w
ant to win a m
atch.”R
ocks have been hit by a series of injuries andfielded centre half R
yan Scott as a m
akeshift strikeragainst H
ampton, w
ho went into the m
atch in secondplace in the table.H
is players responded with a terrif-
ic, workm
anlike display and if, in the final balance,they got the rub of the green w
ith luck and the offi-cials’decisions, it w
as no more than their efforts
deserved.The hosts m
ade a flying start and could easily havescored tw
o goals within the first five m
inutes, asB
orough struggled to deal with the w
indy conditionsfrom
the off.The first chance fell to Scott from
a cor-ner but he w
as unable to guide his strike below the
bar.The second chance fell to Tom
Wraight from
three yards out, as Ryan S
amm
ons sent a whipped
cross to the back post, but his instinctive strike came
back off the underside of the bar and into the arms of
grateful keeper Mark S
mith.
How
ever, the home got w
hat they deserved n the24th m
inute, thanks to a well w
orked move from
acorner w
hen the ball was delivered to the apex of the
box and Scott, expertly guided his side-footed effort
into the bottom right corner, though S
mith m
ay well
think he could have done better as he got both handsto the ball, but w
as only able to palm it into the side-
netting.The clim
ax of an enthralling half in which both
sides showed great determ
ination to master difficult
conditions came w
hen East Thurrock doubled their
lead seconds before the break when Lew
is Sm
ith’ssuperbly flighted free kick cam
e back off the under-
side of the bar but this time H
arry Honesty w
as onhand to prod the ball hom
e from close range.
There was still tim
e for Ham
pton to get the ball intothe R
ocks net before half time, but assistant referee
Rhys B
attye was on hand to rule out the effort for off-
side.B
ut just 30 seconds into the second half Ham
ptongot a goal back w
hen Sam
my K
nott’s clearance was
held up in the wind and the ball w
as returned backinto the box, w
here Sim
on Peddie’s attempted clear-
ance looped up and over keeper Lukas Lidakeviciusinto his ow
n net.Ham
pton enjoyed the lion’s share ofpossession, but R
ocks, marshalled by a terrific display
at centre half by skipper Rickie H
ayles, held firm.
On one occasion they cracked and Jerom
eFederico forced the ball hom
e but his effort was con-
troversially ruled out by assistant referee Robert
Claussen’s raised flag.The official had a poor half,
getting a succession of decisions wrong and he
appeared to have made another serious m
isjudge-m
ent with this verdict, m
uch to the relief of Rocks and
anger of the visiting frontline.There w
as to be an another significant mom
ent tenm
inutes from tim
e when C
harlie Moon’s close range
header seemed goalbound but som
ehow Lidakevicius
stretched an arm and paw
ed the ball away.
The extraordinary save lifted his teamm
ates andhelped them
see out a great rearguard action andthey m
ight even have sneaked a goal with a couple of
late breakaways but in the end they saw
out the victo-ry to delight boss C
oventry, who said:“I thought this
was a really hard-w
orking performance by a group of
players who are starting to believe in them
selves.S
ometim
es you can win a gam
e comfortably, som
e-tim
es you have to work and fight hard, just like w
e didtoday and it w
as a really great way to w
in a game and
get a result I thought we really deserved.”

How tthe RROCKS hhave rrolled....
side Woking 2-0 after a 1-1 draw
at Rookery
Hill.In the sam
e season Rocks w
ere in with a
chance of promotion till A
pril and a fixture back-log eventually took its toll.
2004/05 saw the club sw
itch to the Southern
League in an FA re-structure.The club w
erenever out of the top five all season and finishedrunners-up to Fisher A
thletic and the promotion
that followed w
as to the Rym
an Prem
ier.Rocks
survived their first two seasons in the P
remier
without too m
uch trouble but in 2007-8 despiteheading the table in the early stages, they foundit m
ore of a struggle, particularly after Pattersonleft in the autum
n to take over at Conference
South B
raintree.Patterson’s assistant, John C
oventry, tookover the reins but they w
ere eventually relegat-ed by the cruellest of m
argins, one deductedpoint for playing an ineligible player for a m
inuteat the tale end of a gam
e.It looked as if R
ocks would bounce back at
the first attempt but they lost out on the R
yman
One N
orth title in a last day defeat by Aveleyand then bow
ed out in the play-off to Concord
Rangers - a fate that w
as to befall them again
the following season after finishing fifth.
How
ever, it was to prove to be third tim
elucky in 2010-11 w
hen Rocks topped the table
to join the Rym
an top flight after overhaulingearly pacesetters N
eedham M
arket.2011-12 brought trem
endous success as theR
ocks reached the first round of the FA C
up,going out to then Football League sideM
acclesfield Town, in a televised m
atch inw
hich the 3-0 scoreline to the Silkm
en didn’treflect the flow
of the game.
The club also reached the final of the Rym
anLeague C
up for the first time in its history, los-
ing 1-0 to Bury Tow
n, and the last 32 of the FATrophy, w
here progress was eventually halted
at Ham
pton and Richm
ond Borough in a m
uch-delayed replay.
To cap it all off, a strong run at the end of theseason saw
Rocks finish tenth in the table, their
highest position ever – and they were nam
edthe R
yman P
remier League team
of the sea-son.N
ot bad for the club’s first season back in theR
yman P
remier but in their second (12-13) they
again enjoyed a great FA C
up run, losing out ina dram
atic and emotionally charged FA
Cup
fourth qualifying round replay against
Chelm
sford City on penalties after an exhilarat-
ing 4-4 draw at R
ookery Hill.A
n equally dra-m
atic 2-2 draw at C
helmsford three days before
had put them in the first round draw
for a sec-ond success season, though it w
as to be theC
larets that went on to beat Football League
Colchester.H
owever, R
ocks put that disappointment
aside and in the second half of the seasonem
barked on a remarkable run that saw
themclaim
fifth place in the final table and a play-offgam
e at Lowestoft, w
hich they were unlucky to
lose 1-0.2013-14 w
as something of a contrast.A
Firstqualifying round exit at hom
e in a replayagainstH
ornchurch set the tempo and though
Rocks progressed through a couple of rounds
in the FATrophy they struggled in m
id seasonand found them
selves slipping down the table.
Ultim
ately the season came dow
n to a last daydecider w
hen Rocks needed a w
in at home to
Bognor to secure their place.W
hen they found themselves tw
o goals down
thing looked glum but C
ovo’s side battled backand ultim
ately won 3-2 and though results else-
where w
ould have saved them anyw
ay, Rocks
were able to say they had saved them
selvesw
hen it mattered.
Last season again brought an FA C
up firstround appearance but a prom
ising mid season
position when R
ocks flirted with the play-off
zone eventually tapered away and they finished
in midtable.

Last season saw the club end the cam
paign inan unfam
