Match report away v Romford via Mr Anthony Mercer.

Romford 1 Tilbury 0 (Att 71)

After a disappointing second half, Tilbury went down to a single Ryan Boswell goal. 

Manager Gary Henty, made just one change with Tony Martin replacing Neil Richmond in attack. 

It was a bright opening from both sides and Tilbury would have been disappointed not to be leading at the break after a number of good chances. 

Romford had the first chance of the game when  Adebayo struck the inside of the post before Reynolds hit the rebound wide. Seconds later Wale Odedoyin picked up a through ball, only to see his effort go wide. Before the half hour Odedoyin was again in a good position to score and Toch Singh was a whisker wide. Charlie Portway was denied by a fine Lee Butcher just before the break. 

The second half was a cagey affair, with only one chance and the chance fell to Ryan Boswell who picked up on a mistake and rounded Butcher to slot home for the only goal of the game. 

The result leaves Tilbury in 14th spot. 

Tilbury look to cup action on Tuesday when they welcome Maldon and Tiptree in the Ryman League Cup 1st round.
