SPILLANE STRENGTHENS FURTHER

Essex Senior League champions Stansted travel to Langford on Saturday as a prelude to forthcoming warm up games also on the road at London Colney, Tuesday the 20th and Rushden & Higham United of the Hereward Teamwear United Counties League on Saturday, July 24th.

Delighted team boss Terry Spillane (pictured) confirmed that further new blood had checked in with the Hargrave Park club, whilst another old favourite, John Bricknell, had also put pen-to-paper.

Bricknell is a big player on the Stansted scene. Formerly with Ryman League Division One North side Leyton, his goalscoring prowess and ability to take defenders on makes him a firm favourite with the home faithful.

The impressive front runner played a major role in last season`s title success and the family ties will be further strengthened with Dave Bricknell - first-team coach - a long-serving member of its on field management structure but now also seeing John's 16 year old brother Joe Bricknell, a left-sided midfielder with massive potential, join the Step 5 outfit with the brief to gain vital experience in Mark Penfold`s talented reserve side.

Also checked in at Hargrave Park is 21-year-old Lee Garrity, a right-sided midfielder who his new boss sees as a player with excellent vision.

Garrity played a number of matches for SSML Premier Division Colney Heath in the previous term but looks to become an established senior player in the forthcoming term and joins brother Matt, who is already at Stansted.
