To try an increase attendances at Non-League grounds up and down the country, Saturday 4th September has been designated as National Non-League Day.

With England playing Bulgaria on the Friday night and the Premiership and Championship cancelled for that weekend, thousands of football fans across the land will be short of a match to attend.

On that date we entertain Tooting & Mitcham United at The Brockwell Stadium, and anyone holding a current season ticket for one of the 92 Premiership or Football League clubs will be entitled to free entry.

Club spokesman Chris Sutton said "The club are very pleased to support this excellent initiative which we hope will encourage fans of professional clubs in the area to discover or rediscover the joys of Non-League football."

A goal from Danny Charge 12 minutes from time was enough for Billericay Town to earn a 1-0 win at The New Lodge yesterday. The hosts started the better side, but Canvey came back to finish the stronger in the first half and continued to create chances in the second. However, The Gulls' rarely tested Ashlee Jones in the Billericay goal thanks to some inaccurate finishing, and The Blues took their chance as Charge pounced on a loose ball to score.

This afternoon we are away to Essex rivals Billericay Town in the Ryman Premier League, kick off at 3pm. Billericay are in 13th place in the Ryman Premier League table, with one win, one draw, and one defeat from their opening three matches. They come into this match following a 0-0 draw away to Croydon Athletic on Saturday. Last season Billericay took the bragging rights in this fixture with a 4-1 win, with the match at The Brockwell Stadium finishing as a 0-0 draw.

An excellent footballing perofrmance from Canvey could only earn The Gulls a point at The Brockwell Stadium yesterday. Despite throwing the proverbial kitchen sink at Carshalton in the second half, a mixture of some near misses, good goalkeeping, and the woodwork ensured that the match ended as a draw.

Carshalton took the lead on 13 minutes as Paul Johnson hit a free kick through a weak Canvey defensive wall and into the bottom corner of the net. However, a nice passing move by Canvey was finished off by Danny Heale on 28 minutes after he converted James Rowe's lay off.

Rhodes more recently had a short spell with N Power League 2 new boys Oxford United before finishing the 09/10 season with Grays Athletic in the Blue Square Premier.

Canvey Manager John Batch said "I have been after Alex for a few weeks now after his impressive performance during pre season. A number of clubs have spoken to Alex but he shook hands with me and said if his trial at Hereford didn’t work out that he would put pen to paper on a deal at The Brockwell Stadium. Alex will give us excellent pace and quality from wide areas and im sure he will be a superb addition to the squad."

Rhodes goes straight into contention for Saturdays home Ryman Premier League clash with Carshalton Athletic.

Unfortunately the match was called off shortly before kick off due to a waterlogged pitch.

A brace from James Rowe either side of half time was enough to earn Canvey three points at The Brockwell Stadium last night against Harrow Borough. After a quiet first half, Rowe converted a cross from Danny Heale on the stroke of half time to give The Gulls the lead. He then doubled the lead 6 minutes into the second half, being on hand to score after Heale's original shot had been saved.

Canvey opened the scoring as early as the 7th minute, when Craig Davidson curled home a free kick after Jason Hallett was fouled on the edge of the box. A minute later and Canvey doubled the score, with James Rowe drilling a low cross in from the left which Jason Hallett connected with, only for his shot to be cleared off of the line. However, the rebound fell straight to the feet of Robbie King who slotted the ball home past the diving Romford keeper. The Gulls added a third late on when youngster Remi Sutton came off of the bench to slot home a pass from James Rowe with 5 minutes to play. Romford did grab a consolation goal with the last kick of the ball which was acrobatically celebrated by Romford's number 9.
