Tilbury delivered a fine performance in the last round, defeating Buckhurst Hill four-one, and they again had Essex Senior League opposition, Stanway Rovers travelling to Chadfields. Rovers were looking to defeat North Division opposition for the second time in a row after victory over Maldon & Tiptree in the last round, and they took the lead on ten minutes, but the Dockers weren’t going to be the latest sacrifice. Lewis Manor levelled on twenty eight minutes, Sam Carter soon added another, and Manor made it three-one just after the hour mark. That was how it ended, the Dockers safety through.
