Concord Rangers suffer away defeat at Tilbury
Concord Rangers' losing start to the 2025/26 season continued with a 2-0 defeat at Tilbury. Both sides were reduced to ten men with former Beach Boy Jimmy Wallace getting sent off against his former club for a second bookable offence in the first half for Tilbury, before Chelmsford City loanee Kai Torres also saw red for Concord for an elbow in the second half. Concord were on top for large periods and had the better chances, but they were the masters of their own downfall, conceding twice in the space of a minute with substitutes Nathan Best and Kieran Jones scoring near identical goals in quick succession to earn Tilbury a first three points of the campaign. Concord had the first chance of the game with Bobby Kelman getting in behind, but his lobbed attempt went way off target. After 20 minutes, a crucial goal-line clearance was required from Tilbury to stop the visitors from opening the scoring. Sherquan Toussaint played the ball down the line for Khris Oti, whose cross was played back to Toussaint and his shot was blocked on the line by Luke Reeve - which, despite the appeals of the Concord players, was not given as a handball from the Dockers defender by the referee. Just past the half hour, Concord would have a key referee decision go in their favour with the home side being reduced to ten men. After Rangers had cleared an Oli Spooner free kick, the Beach Boys looked to break on the counter-attack with Oti, but he was brought down by a sliding challenge from behind by former Concord man Wallace, who was given his second yellow card of the evening. Concord almost made the man advantage count on the stroke of half time, with Sammy Collins' side being frustrated by another goal-line intervention. Torres teed up Kelman with a disguised pass, and he beat Harry Fairs to the ball, poking it across to Harrison Day whose back heel was stabbed off the line by Spooner. The second half was inactive until 20 minutes from time when Concord were also reduced to ten men. After Torres and a Tilbury player tussled for the ball following the awarding of a free kick, the Concord full back lashed out with an elbow to the face that resulted in him becoming the second player of the evening to receive an early bath. This was also the second red card that Rangers have received this season, with Ricky Modeste too being sent off in an FA Cup tie against Harpenden Town earlier this month. Despite this setback, it was Concord who had the next couple of chances with Toussaint sending a drilled shot agonisingly wide of the far corner and Day's mistimed header from Liam Jones' free kick sailing over. These missed chances would prove costly for Concord, with Tilbury striking two quick-fire goals to steal the three points. Straight after coming off the bench, Best was played in behind and the striker slid the ball beneath Concord 'keeper Jacob Marsden and in with his first touch of the game. The Dockers then doubled their lead straight after kick-off, with Concord giving away possession cheaply straight to Jones, who ran through on goal and beat Marsden. This being the second season in a row in which the midfielder had scored against Concord, having also been on target in the Dockers' 2-0 win against the Beach Boys at Chadfields in January. A first win of the campaign sees Tilbury move up to eighth with Marc Harrison's team now eight games unbeaten at home, a record that stretches back to February. A second loss of the season for Concord means they are now winless in ten games in all competitions, with their last victory coming back in March.

Birthday boy Ben gets Warrington Rylands their first win
WARRINGTON Rylands' first home match of the new season yielded their first victory on Tuesday night. A solitary first-half goal decided the contest against Bamber Bridge at Gorsey Lane, with Ben Hardcastle notching just after the half-hour mark on his 31st birthday. After George Waring had worked hard to win the ball back high up the field, the ball broke to the midfielder who smashed home from just inside the penalty area. Having taken a point from their season opener at Rushall Olympic on Saturday, it is a solid four points from a possible six to start the Northern Premier League Premier Division campaign for Neil Reynolds' side. What was the main talking point? Under the guidance of Jamie Milligan, Bamber Bridge have established themselves as a team that like to keep the ball on the floor at all costs. While it can have spectacular results, however, it can also be their downfall as it was on this occasion. Many of Rylands' clearest attacking moments came from pressing high and forcing mistakes in the Brig rearguard - they had an early warning when Alex Kiwomya tried flicking to an unaware George Waring as opposed to shooting, but it was one they did not heed as Hardcastle's opener came from a botched attempt to play out from a goal kick just after the half-hour mark. That is not to say the rest of the game without incident - far from it, with both sides enjoying moments of joy during a lively first half in particular. Rylands could legitimately say they could have been two goals up inside the first 10 minutes and will argue the margin could have been greater, but the result adds to a solid start to the campaign for Neil Reynolds' men. Having begun slowly last season, there are no such issues thus far at Gorsey Lane. Which players stood out? The Rylands midfield is functional but fluid at the same time, with the ageless Dean Furman acting as a fire blanket to release Hardcastle and Ben Hough to get involved higher up the field. Further back, skipper James Neild was his usual assured presence at the back - deployed on the left of a back three, he never seemed to be forced out of second gear by anything the visitors sent his way. When he did have to exert himself after the break, Neild made two critical interventions to prevent Bamber Bridge from troubling goalkeeper Luke Pilling, particularly stretching acrobatically to stop Jamie Allen from reaching a ball over the top. 'A really professional performance' - what they said Hardcastle missed from the penalty spot during Saturday's draw at Rushall Olympic but post-match, Reynolds said his ability to bounce back and make the ultimate difference three days later spoke to his "strength of character." Overall, he hailed "a really professional performance" from his side, "They caused us a lot of problems – you could see why they had a good win on Saturday and we had to be at our very best," he said. "I thought it was an excellent performance – we knew they played with a midfield diamond and we tried to nullify it. "We broke it a couple of times in the first half and Alex Kiwomya got in, as did Ben Hardcastle. "Massive credit to Ben Hardcastle – his head was in the bin on Saturday after missing a penalty but the strength of character of him to come back and grab the winner. That's what he does. "We gave him a little more freedom but all over the park, it was a really professional performance."
