Oxford United Reserves 2 (de Silva 27, Marsh 57) Southend United Reserves 1 (Sturrock 15)
Even though Blair Sturrock opened the scoring for a decent enough Southend reserve side, led by player/coach Graham Coughlan, they still fell to a 2-1 defeat in the Combination League East and are left with nul points, and only five more reserve league games left in the season!

Meanwhile, striker Harry Crawford, who we reported earlier today was training with League Two rivals Dagenham & Redbridge and was turning out in a reserve game with a West Ham development squad, was involved in the Daggers opening goal in an entertaining 4-4 draw.
However, Harry was taken off in the second half and his replacement scored a brace which earnt the home side a draw!
