The Terrors

Butterworth (64) GOALS Graves (13), own Goal (56)
 

Tooting returned to winning ways on a bleak afternoon in darkest Essex.  In a match of low excitement Terrors stuck doggedly to their task to gain revenge for the surprise home defeat to the Millers back in September.

Tom Graves has proved to be very effective in oppositions penalties areas as well as in his own, and it was his head that connected to an Alan McLeod cross at the back post to give Terrors the lead in the first serious attack of the afternoon.

Simon Parker side footed wide five minutes later, closely followed by a Paul Vines header that was cleared off the line.  Thereafter it became a turgid affair, with neither defence being seriously troubled

Half Time:   Aveley 0-1  Terrors

Two goals in a three minute period briefly brought things to life.  Pressure from Aaron Goode and Paul Vines forced Ketchell to put through his own goal before Millers pulled one back with a header by Butterworth.

Terrors immediate pushed to restore the two goal cushion, but Goode and Vines were thwarted in quick succession.  Fifteen minutes from time and Goode again came close, with a neat chip that was just wide of a post.
