Form Guide:
Despite topping the table, The Acorns are only 7th in the form guide table with 3 wins, 2 draws and a defeat in the last six. (The Bridge are currently 4th!).
Last time out:
Their last match in the ESL was at West Essex and ended in a 3-3 draw. Daniel Keeble (9’) and Scott Sloots (76’) gave The Acorns a two-goal lead before Max Dorili (83’) and Alfie Gilbey (89’) levelled it. A David Ogbechie own goal after 93 minutes appeared to have settled it in The Acorns favour, but Jaedon Phillips levelled it again in the 97th minute and then got a yellow card in the 98th minute and a red card in the 99th!
The Bridge v Little Oakley – last meeting:
The last encounter between the two teams was in the ESL Premier on Tuesday, 29th July 2025, at Lower Road. The Acorns won the match 4-1 with Nathan Rowe scoring after 2 minutes and Billy Knott equalising after 19. The Acorns then plundered the points due to a Jack Wilson own goal (67’) and one each from Noah Alsterlind (73’) and Lewis Wood (91’). 141 were in attendance.
