Rocks recorded their first Ryman Division One North win since late November with this exciting success.

Lee Burns gave Lee Patterson's men a 41st-minute lead with a 25-yard free-kick, but Matt Miller equalised.

Keith Martin, making his debut, shot Rocks back ahead and, when the same player was held back in an attack, Burns scored a second free-kick to make it 3-1.

Jonathan Miller reduced the arrears after 74 minutes, but Thurrock held on for a deserved success.
