Essex Senior League

Great Wakering 2, Tower Hamlets 0

ROVERS got their campaign off to the perfect start with a solid win at home to Tower Hamlets.

Player-manager Dan Trenkel made light of an early head injury when he headed in their opening goal on 22 minutes from a Billy Johnson cross.

Johnson then added their second soon after when he latched on to an under-hit back pass and rounded the keeper before rolling the ball home. Johnson also hit the bar late on.
