Tue, 11/12/2007 - 00:30 — StaceyThe return match against Kelvedon coming a week after was always going to make things slightly awkward , playing a team so soon is hard as they know your players and style of play well enough to cause problems .

Fri, 09/11/2007 - 21:56 — StaceyA beautiful autumn morning greeted our visitors today Springfield .

Chelmsford City Clarets 1 v 1 Chelmsford City Whites
Sat, 20/10/2007 - 17:18 — StaceySunshine and a large crowd greeted both teams for the first derby of the season . The Whites started quickly and put the Clarets under early pressure . However it was the Clarets who opened the scoring after just 62 seconds with a well struck Marley Okosi strike into the top corner leaving the Whites keeper no chance at all . The Clarets kept up the pressure but seemed to lack their normal composure in front of goal either shooting early or just missing out on a final pass through .
