Romford return to league ‘reality’
Boro boss ready for bogey team
Romford’s FA Trophy heroes return to Ryman One North action with a trip to Waltham Abbey tomorrow.
And Boro visit East Thurrock on Tuesday as they look to maintain their impressive league form.
They slipped from third to sixth, while securing a 3-1 win at AFC Totton to earn a Trophy trip to Boreham Wood, but are firmly in the play-off hunt.
Manager Paul Martin said: “We’ve got to take points from games before Boreham Wood and we’re strong and big enough. We’re stronger than last year.”

Boro bowed out of the Essex Senior Cup in midweek, but Martin fielded ‘almost a reserve team’ and added: “The unbeaten streak is still going as far as I’m concerned. I’m only interested in the league and Trophy.
“Waltham Abbey have always been a bit of a bogey team for Romford and it will be very physical and tough.
