Oi, you couldn’t write it! Under the lights at The Drive, Frenford left it late – proper late – to break Buckhurst Hill hearts in this Essex Senior League derby.
Tom Troubridge popped up right at the death with a peach of a finish to nick all three points for the home side. The place went absolutely mad – fans, players, the lot.
Buckhurst Hill grafted all game but just couldn’t find the back of the net, and to top it off, tempers boiled over with a red card deep into stoppage time.
From crunching tackles to last-gasp limbs, this one had proper non-league spice.
