Essex Senior League Premier - Saturday 9th December 2023, 3 pm - Match Preview

Little Oakley Football Club is a football club based in Little Oakley, Essex, England. They are currently members of the Essex Senior League and play at the Memorial Ground.

History
Despite evidence of a football club in Little Oakley prior to World War I, the club were founded in 1947 as Little Oakley War Memorial. In 1974, the club changed their name to the current guise of Little Oakley.

The club was promoted as champions of the Essex and Suffolk Border League in 2017, joining the Eastern Counties League. It was the club's fifth Premier Division title.
In 2021 the club were promoted to the Essex Senior League based on their results in the abandoned 2019–20 and 2020–21 seasons.

Ground
Following the club's promotion to the Eastern Counties League, the War Memorial Ground required several upgrades. The ground was enclosed and the pitch surrounded with railing and hardstanding. Floodlights were installed, with a small, covered stand built at the clubhouse end.

Top scorer with 14 goals in 23 appearances is Harry Mann, so if he makes appearance number 24, watch out for him….you could say he’s the man…you have been warned!


This season, back in September on the 19th. The Bridge went to Little Oakley Memorial Ground on a Tuesday night and won 2-1 in front of an attendance of 64.

Here we are again and hoping for that win to kick start the season again. As above, the current form is actually in favour of the visitors but football has a way of ignoring these sorts of statistics so anything can happen. If you want to see anything happen, then you know where you need to be and probably might need a raincoat (or two!), it’s not a summer sport you know…in fact it’s just not cricket (obviously!)
There remains just one thing left to say….
