a brace

couldn't hold on against visitors Barkingside.
A Manor side with a
raft of injuries played well in the first half and led twice
through Linton's double.
The visitors' second
equaliser had a hint of offside about it, but it spurred Barkingside
on and they deserved their late winner.

has every reason to be proud of a brave and committed performance.

Burnham Ramblers a fright in the last 10 minutes of the second
leg.

first leg and 1-0 on the day, Joe Nightingill struck 8 minutes
from time to give the Manor hope. For 10 minutes the home
side wobbled, and even had to scramble an effort off the line,
before they scored 3 breakaway goals in added time to make
the victory look comfortable, but even the Burnham management
afterwards admitted that it had been far from comfortable.

Eton
Manor's long search
for a new permanent club secretary has ended with the appointment
John Gibbons in January.
The club have been
on the look out for new secretary since the summer, and club
coach Paul Norris had been covering the role alongside his
other duties at the club. However, he is delighted to be handing
over to John. He said: "I'm delighted John has taken
the role on. People don't realise just how resource intensive
it is, and with my job it was often difficult to find the
time. However, I've done my best to hand things over in a
good state to John and remain on hand to assist in any way
I can. However, my focus now is on my work with Kevin and
Nick on the football side of things."
Club Chairman Reg Curtis
officially welcomed John to club saying: "Obviously John
has been around as a supporter all season, but we are delighted
that he's agreed to take on this role. He has alredy in a
short time doing the job made an immense contribution and
we look forward to him helping take this club forward in the
next few years."

defeat might have been turning point"

There couldn't be a
better time to be writing my second notes of the season. We
are playing some really good stuff just at the moment, scoring
bags of goals and looking like a top Essex Senior League side.
As I said in my last
notes we overcame a difficult start to the season by grinding
a few results out. Gritty draws with Enfield 1893 and Southend
Manor along with hard fought scrappy victories over Basildon
and Clapton in the League cup started our season off, but
it was the defeat at Hullbridge in October that really started
to turn things around.

Durrant - "Delighted
to add Chibogu"
|
Manor manager Kevin
Durrant has finally added a new striker to his squad this
week with the signing of Ed Chibogu. The Braves' boss has
been looking to add to his forward options in recent weeks
after reverting to a traditional 4-4-2 formation and had put
in approaches for two other strikers, that had both come to
nothing.
Chibogu has been out
of the game for 2 years after short spell playing for Durrant
at Ilford, having started his career at Ipswich Town, where
he played in the same youth team as Darren Bent and then had
a short spell at Southend United. Chibogu played 70 minutes
on debut in the derby with Barking and impressed with his
touch and pace.
Durrant said: "I'm delighted to get Ed. He's got real
quality. Once we decided to go back to 4-4-2, I knew that
we needed to add another forward. I've got Danny Clarke, who
struggles to do two games in a week and I've got Scott Lovett
who has been carrying a knee injury as well, which leaves
me just with Courtney Linton. So Ed's arrival is very important
to us. He might take 2 or 3 games to get up to full speed,
but once he does I'm convinced he'll score goals."
On the debit side, young full back Joe Nightingill has signed
for Heybridge Swifts of Ryman League Division One North. Joe
spent a year at Eton Manor, but had struggled for fitness
at the start of this season, before finding some form in a
more advanced left sided midfield role. Eton Manor have retained
his Senior League registration.
Everyone at Eton Manor welcomes Ed to the club and wishes
Joe success with Heybridge. |

Kevin Durrant - "Delighted"
with the Manor's younger players
|
Eton Manor boss Kevin
Durrant has hailed the impact of Eton Manor's younger players
in their recent upturn in form.
Manor used a number
of teenagers in their 7-1 Essex Senior Cup defeat at Burnham
Ramblers and despite the scale of the defeat the Manor boss
has retained his youngsters as part of the squad.
Durrant said: "At
Burnham we played a very young team against one of the strongest
sides in the league. We were well beaten but it was a great
learning experience for my players. At the moment I can't
get away with picking them all together, but we can feed them
into the side 1 by 1."
The likes of Tony Hadley,
Jamie Merralls, Andrew Gibbons and Ryan Lynch all played in
that match but have come back from the disappointment to be
involved in the following league matches.
Durrant added: "We
don't have a reserve team so we need to keep these talented
kids involved. I'd like to think that these boys along with
the likes of Courtney Linton and Paul Marin will be the mainstays
of the side in 3 or 4 years time." |

The League Cup: Last
won by Manor in 2008
|
Eton Manor booked their
place in the League Cup quarter finals after a nervy 1-0 victory
over Clapton.
Carl Bailey's second
goal of the season was enough to give the Manor the three
points that they required to win Group C.
Manor dominated the
previous meeting in August but threw away a 3-1 lead in the
last 10 minutes to drop 2 points - however, it was clear early
in the game that this was a much improved Clapton side and
the final whistle brought joy and relief in equal measure,
especially after being knocked out of the Gordon Brasted Trophy
by Bowers & Pitsea on Saturday.

The Battle of the Manors
finished all square at Mayesbrook Park after a game that won't
live long in the memory of those who saw it. Indeed for a
game riddled with mistakes and sloppy passing it was ironic
that both teams scored excellent goals.

Eton Manor have been
re-instated in the FA Vase following a Football Association
ruling that Mauritius Sports Association fielded an ineligible
player in their FA Vase 1st Qualifying Round Tie.
Manor lost the tie
2-0 after extra time, however, it later transpired that Mauritius
Sports' opening goalscorer Javier Rivera was playing whilst
under suspension.
The FA's official statement
read:
"An
FA Vase Protest Sub Committee was held on Monday 14 September
2009 to consider a protest lodged by Eton Manor against Mauritius
Sports Association UK.
The protest was upheld after considering
the facts surrounding the inclusion of Javier Rivera in the
above tie. The Sub Committee decided that Mauritius Sports
Association UK had breached FA Vase Rule 15(c) by playing
a player whilst under suspension, therefore ineligible.
The Sub Committee decided, in accordance
with its discretionary powers, that Mauritius Sports Association
UK be removed from the Competition and Eton Manor reinstated."
Eton Manor First Team
Coach and Football Secretary Paul Norris attended the hearing
at Wembley Stadium on Monday afternoon. He said: "Obviously
this is not the way we would wish to have gone through to
the next round. We do have sympathy with Mauritius Sports
and ironically it was against Mauritius in the League Cup
last season that we suffered a similar fate and lost a victory
and a place in the quarter finals as a result. However, there
has been a breach of competition rule 15(c) and we welcome
the Football Association's decision. On behalf of Eton Manor
Football Club I would like to thank both the FA and Mauritius
Sports for their professionalism in the handling of this matter."
Eton Manor will now
play high flying Erith Town of the Kent League in the next
round this Sunday, 12noon kick off at Mayesbrook
Park. |

in form

Another Saturday another
3 Manor goals away from home, and yet another disappointing
defeat. Courtney Linton's hot streak continued as the young
forward made it 4 goals in 3 games for him this season. However
despite leading at half time, the Manor were undone again

Frett: Opened the scoring
|
Eton Manor suffered
yet another heartbreaking late defeat after more than matching
promotion favourites Tiptree at Chapel Road.
Manor started this
match with new signing Manny Sackey soon showing his quality
in midfield. After 5 minutes the superb Danny Clark, although
not 100% fit, turned the Tiptree defence inside out to lay
off a great pass to Joe May. The resulting shot was cleared
off the line as was the follow up from Tom Nyama.
