EAST Thurrock United have been drawn against League One giants Southend United or minnows Redbridge in the Essex Senior Cup.

John Coventry’s men will welcome either Southend or Redbridge to Rookery Hill in the fourth round of the competition following this afternoon’s draw.

There is also a tasty derby between fierce rivals Thurrock and Aveley at Ship Lane, after Aveley got the better of Fleet at the quarter-final stage in last year’s competition.

Tilbury, comfortable winners against Halstead Town in the third round, welcome National League hotshots Braintree Town to Chadfields.

And should Grays Athletic beat Witham Town this evening, Mark Bentley’s side will be rewarded with a trip to Chelmsford City.

All the matches will be played on or before Saturday, December 12.
