Ockendon Veterans 3, Vichouse Sports 2 FOOTBALL: OCKENDON manager Jason Plunkett was delighted with his side’s second half response as three set pieces sealed a 3-2 comeback victory over Vichouse Sports, clinching them the Essex Saturday Veterans Cup silverware at Heybridge Swifts FC.
A perfect start for Vichouse gave them the lead within 37 seconds through Steve Rich’s neat finish before Neil Burns doubled their advantage eight minutes prior to the interval.
However, a trio of John Nestling corners set-up Ockendon’s comeback with a Steve Warner own goal in-between a Tommy Lee brace.
Ockendon: Steve Arundell, Andy Thompson, John Nestling, Terry Epstein, Steve Davis, Micky Arnold, Mick Mills, Gary Lynch, Derek Wood, Tommy Lee, Paul Cobb. Substitutes (repeated): Geoff Davis, Paul Benton, Dave Moran, Mark Ings, Mick Phillips.
