Michael Cheek is the cover star of today's Non League Paper!

Well worth getting...the full page photo on today's NLP front cover is of Cheek celebrating his hat-trick. The headline is "Red-hot Iron's Cheek-o time!"
Inside there are two more colour photos, with a match report heading of "The Invincible Iron Men!". The math was given a 5 star rating for entertainment (the only one in the 3 National League Divisions. Both Cheek and Szmodics were rated as 9/10, with Cheek making it into the National Team of the Week.
There is also a preview in the paper of our trip to Oxford on Tuesday night.

Isn't it nice to get some well deserved recognition just for once. Good coverage in the press and top of the shop billing on BT Sport National League Highlights show last night. Maybe we are not quite the small club that everyone claims us to be, maybe we are now in the medium range. No longer are we punching above our weight, well not against the bottom half of the League anyway. There was a time when a game like Saturday's would have meant that it was a potential banana skin, we now seem to be able to shirk off those particular shackles and now show our quality. "Pub Team from Essex".......I'll drink to that!!.

I always love us as the underdog punching above our weight! Personally though we are now a well established side I'm this league I feel to become "big" or medium sized we need the fan base to become larger, to taste the football league and get that new stadium. Danny and the lads are certainly playing their part
