The most recent memorable occasion that these sides faced off was a 10-1 win in Southend’s favour in the second round of 1968-69 FA Cup. Fifty-six years later, it was another high-scoring affair in the Shrimpers’ favour.

“Could have been difficult, but we managed the game well and got our goals when we needed them,” he added.
For all the assurance and zip in Southend’s opening endeavours, it was the Isthmian North outfit who made and took the game’s first credible chance not long after the ten-minute mark.
