Rams worry Step 5 Hullbridge in pre-season thriller

The Rams began their pre-season with an away game against Step 5 Hullbridge Sports. Under the leadership of new manager Steve Roberts, Hullbridge boasted several players that featured in Great Wakering's FA Vase campagin last year and with the Senior League season starting in just a couple of weeks, the Rams knew it would be a tough afternoon against a side a little further ahead in their pre-season schedule.

Rams started very well, asking questions down the flanks and a new centre-back partnership, thanks to injuries elsewhere, Stuart Greaves and Josh Arrowsmith were solid at the back. It was the Rams who drew first blood as a lovely move down the left, found a marauding Corey Wood, who drove home with an assured finish. The Rams stayed on the front foot and Tommy Pinkerton's presence up front continued to cause Hullbridge problems. He was played in down the right and drove in a low centre - it seemed for all that the Bridge keeper would gather it easily but a burst of pace from Jacob Meads saw him just nick the ball in front, before being felled. The referee pointed to the spot and up stepped Tommy Pinkerton to find the net off the inside of the post. It was a deserved half time lead for the Rams.

A host of changes for both sides changed the momentum and Hullbridge were able to pull one back from the spot less than ten minutes into the second half, before they found an equaliser with a very good 25-yard strike on 74 minutes.

All in all a very good performance and result for the Rams. Some new players making a good impression, with some of last season's Reserves also taking a step up and giving account of themselves. They'll be very pleased with this result against Step 5 opposition and will be encouraged by the performance.
