A day where Canvey Island needed 3 points was a disaster as Hashtag defeated the Gulls with a brace from Ex Canvey favorite Evans Kouassi. The match started brightly with Captain Elliot Ronto finishinmg off a move from a cross on the left headed on by Calum Newsom. The Canvey fans only had 5 minutes to celebrate before the Gulls conceded a controversial penalty which was scored by Kouassi who waited until the keeper was on the move before tucking into the opposite corner. Jack Paxman had an effort hit the post just before half time as the Gulls again stuggled to find the net.

It was 1-1 at half time but shortly into the second half Kouassi hit his second and should have added a third when clean through with only the keeper to beat but he was forced wide and could not take advantage of the chance. On 70 minutes Matas Skarna had a shot well saved and Kenedi Dariri could not hit the target with the rebound.

In the final 10 minutes substitute Chaynie Burgin struck a well taken third to finish the match. With other results not going Canvey's way they are now with a poor goal difference effectively 11 points from Safety with just 6 games remaining.
