The first weekend in February brought the 1s face to face with a tough double header of fixtures to try and drag themselves away from thoughts of relegation. Saturday saw Harleston Magpies make the return journey to Chelmer Park, earlier in the season they gave the hosts a thrashing with a side mixing experience and youth and a strict half … Read More
Men’s 6th XI v Waltham Forest
We have been fortunate enough to receive two versions of the Men’s 6s match against Waltham Forest on Saturday 4th February. Please enjoy both! Edition 1: Chelmsford turned up to their away game promptly only to find out that they had worn the wrong colour. Both the 6s and the opposition wore green. However this did not stop Chelmsford as … Read More
Men’s Vets v Spencer Vets
The Vets played a very strong Spencer team that had won every game this season and lost 5-2. This was a creditable result that included fine performances from Ian Hull, Andy Neave and Phillip Hutley.
Men’s 6th XI v Wapping
The all too long winter hibernation over, bright-eyed souls emerged from their vehicles and lingered about at the edge of the Chelmsford sand, keen to get a stick on a ball for maybe the first time in a few weeks. Wapping arrived in dribs and drabs and flipped the coin and chose ends. To a man they looked young and … Read More
Ladies 7th XI v Braintree
Unable to play for 2 weeks due to frozen pitches the L7s were pleased to be travelling to Braintree for a friendly against the newly formed Braintree 4s.

Ladies 7th XI v Southend and Benfleet
This week back to the “Beach” a very sandy pitch, but not next to the sea to play Southend and Benfleet joint leaders at the top of the division. It was always going to be a tough match as our opposition had won all by one match, which they had drawn. They immediately threw us a curveball by not having … Read More
Men’s 5th XI v Havering
A deserved win for Chelmsford in our second game of 2017 with a 7-0 win against Havering. A strong contribution from all players in the side gave the opportunity to put pressure on from pushback, forcing an error in front of the Havering goal early on, allowing Scot Reilley to swiftly convert his first goal of the half. Chelmsford defence … Read More
Men’s Evergreens v St Albans Centurions
Points lost in this league game despite having been 2-0 up in the first 15 minutes. With the score at 2-2 at half time, St Albans came out for the second half in determined mood and although the EG’s scored another goal to make it 3-2 , St Albans grabbed an equaliser in the last period of the game.
Men’s 4th XI v Waltham Forest
As perennial league companions to the M4s over the past few seasons Waltham Forest had become somewhat of a nemesis. The past 5 encounters had all resulted in losses or at best hard fought draws for Chelmsford – so after the frost extended Christmas break this was a tough comeback game, made slightly harder by the ridiculously early 10.00am pushback … Read More
