Albie Keith then headed wide, before Barking defender Joe Bruce almost headed into his own net before the break. The home side finishing the half strong.

Barking started the second half the way they finished the first when a mistake in the visitors defence, saw Rhys Madden having to pull off a fine save.

On 55 Tilbury thought they had increased the lead, when Anderson had the ball in the net, but it was ruled out for offside. Late in the game Manny Ighorae almost stole the point, when Madden had to make a fine save. In the final seconds, Barking struck the base of the post as they tried hard for an equaliser.
