1600 magnificent Shrimpers travelled to Meatflake Mansions for Boxing Day hoping for a good clean game ….
First half and boisterous Braintree are giving Blues grief, with the card-happy referee working thru the Southend team sheet with yellow cards, until Ben Goodliffe tries to swap wigs with a Btree player and gets a straight red card. Halfo hanging on 0-0.
Second half and sub Gus Scott Morris drives the team on, Parillon unlucky not to score until GSM heads home on 75mins, Blues see it out to remain Essex’s ‘No1 team in the mid table of Division 5’
