There was at least one good news story this season in South Essex. Well done Concord Rangers on winning promotion to the Ryman League Premier Division.
They beat Enfield Town 3-1 at Thames Road this afternoon in the their play-off final in front of a crowd of well over 700.
Just a couple of seasons ago they were plying their trade at places such as Hullbridge Sports and London APSA. Now they're just one step from Conference football, an incredible achievement.
And spare a thought for Canvey Island. Just over five years ago their ex-chairman, jeff King, said their avowed aim was to become the number one side in South Essex at the turn of this decade. Now they're not even the number one team in Canvey!
Well done to all at Concord on a superb achievement.
