U's come up short in Essex once again - 23/1/10

Billericay Town (1) 2 - 0 (0) Hastings United
Bricknell 11
Thomas 58

United returned empty handed from New Lodge for the third season running, as an early goal in each half saw struggling Billericay claim a much needed three points this afternoon. On a day when defences were generally dominant, the home side were at least able to profit from a couple of mistakes, as the U's rather gifted their opponents an advantage, from which they never looked like recovering. Nathan Russell's error allowed Billy Bricknell to claim the hosts' eleventh minute opener, while Tim Olorunda was at fault for the Blues' second, scored by debutant Simon Thomas thirteen minutes after the interval. United worked hard, and enjoyed the vast majority of the possession, but were unable to break down a resolute Billericay back line, although Scott Ramsay went close to grabbing a consolation effort in the closing stages.
