Thurrock's game against local rivals East Thurrock United was a dull affair for both sets of fans. East Thurrock nearly scored in the 1st minute when a One-on-one chance went over Paul Gothard's bar.

Thurrock's best player, Dwayne Plummer nearly scored after 6 minutes when flicking past the East Thurrock keeper which narrowly slid past the post. Plummer did score ten minutes later, dispatching a penalty coolly after a foul in the box. The rest of the half was a played out without many chances falling to either side.

The second half was even worse after the usual 7 or 8 changes by both sides. East Thurrock equalised after 58 minutes with a header from 3 yards after an excellent corner was put across, they then had a goal disallowed after 70 minutes for a foul in the penalty area. Other than that most of the action was in the middle third of the match with chances at a premium.
