Bishops Stortford Swifts

Epping made the trip to East London last Thursday night for their opening match away at Canning Town. With several players making their competitive debut it was expected that the side would take time to gel and it was to be the case with the home side having the better of the early exchanges. However, Epping slowly started to come into the game and Leon Rolle and Ash Conlan had a couple of good chances. Epping keeper Alan Moore was the busier of the two keepers but he dealt comfortably with what was thrown at him by the Canning Town forwards. Epping continued to play a patient game and try and catch Canning Town on the break and Conlan had another good chance which he failed to convert. Overall a draw was probably a fair result and this was a good point away from home for Epping
