On Saturday 1st January 2022, we will kick-off the new year away from home, as we take on Grays Athletic in the Pitching In Isthmian North Division, kick-off 3pm.

This is set to be another exciting match, and we hope to see many Canvey fans make the short journey up the A13 to back the team.

We come into this match on the back of a thrilling 5-1 win at home to Tilbury, which included a Jamie Salmon wonder strike! The Gulls will be raring to go again versus old rivals, Grays.

Grays are having a great season so far and they occupy 5th position despite a narrow 2-1 defeat to landlords, Aveley.

The last time ourselves and Grays met was back in the 2020/21 Pitching In Isthmian North campaign, when we triumphed 4-0 away from home.

We would like to take this opportunity to wish everyone associated with the Gulls a safe journey to and from the match. Come on you Gulls!
