Southend & Benfleet were still seeking an elusive win on Saturday as they played away to Redbridge & Ilford. Redbridge were the first to score but Southend & Benfleet soon equalised. Kendall Colman drag flicked the ball at a penalty corner which was saved by the keeper but Chloe Harris was there for the rebound. Both teams were working equally hard but a penalty flick was awarded to Redbridge & Ilford which they deftly put away leaving the score 2-1 at half-time. Player of the match Rachel Jeffery dominated in midfield, creating chances for S&B. Ashlie Bolton scored their second goal from a pass from skipper Kirsty Edmunds. Redbridge & Ilford came back fighting with their third goal 10 minutes from full-time.
