SHRIMPERS TO TEST IRON
Braintree continue build up against Southend United
Braintree Town continue their pre-season build up with the visit of League Two side Southend United to the Cressing Road Stadium tomorrow (Saturday) afternoon. Please note that the kick-off for this match is 1pm.
Iron entertained the Roots Hall club last pre-season and got their pre-season campaign off and running with a high tempo match. We took a sixth minute lead when excellent work on the right from Newman Carney set up Dan Holman wide on the left of the Southend penalty area. Despite fighting a seemingly lost cause, Dan was able to get the better of the United full back and lifted the ball across the six yard box for the waiting Sean Marks to head home. Southend levelled on 26 minutes when pressure from Hemmings saw Matt Paine's attempted clearance loop over Nathan McDonald, but Iron secured the winner with six minutes remaining. Nicky Symons broke from half way before firing his effort with venom low into the bottom right corner from 25 yards.
Admission prices for the game, which is pay at the turnstiles on the day, are as follows: £10 for adults, £7 for OAPs and those still in full time education, £5 for under 16s and £3 for under 11s.
