Just two days after putting 7 past Hollands & Blair, the Millers, winners and runners up in the two previous London Senior Cup Finals, went out at the first stage in this season's competition as Alex Nelson and Steadman Callender gave the home side a comfortable lead at the break. Substitute Cemil Tumkaya sparked a late rally for the Millers with a goal inside the final ten minutes, but it proved too little too late for Kevin Watson's side. Next up for the Millers though, an FA Vase trip to St Panteleimon.

Jack Duffy pulled one back for the Dockers with just over 10 minutes remaining. The Millers are now in 4th position in the league table with 10 points from 5 matches and 3 points behind early pace setters Chatham Town.

The Millers went goal crazy at Oakwood, but there was no sign of things to come as the visitors only had a Denzel Gayle goal to show for their first half efforts. But after Gayle added his second after 52 minutes the goal tally started to mount. Taylor McDonagh and Joe Matthews netted soon after before the Dockers misery was compounded as goalkeeper Rilwan Anibaba scored into his own net. Ainsley Everett added two of his own late on to finish off the Dockers miserable evening.

A rare Friday night fixture for the Millers that attracted over 100 spectators to Badgers and not many could believe the outcome of this match that the home side dominated virtually from start to finish. But failing to convert the numerous chances that came their way, the Millers were left stunned when the Dockers James Hawkins broke to slot past Jack Bradshaw to allow the Dockers to steal all three points.

Erith Town 3 v Cray Valley 3
Goals: ET- Cassius 20, Hamill 35, Rice 52
CV- Rabiu 9, Jones 38, Jeffrey 76
Match Report:
The Millers had to dig deep to gain a point at Badgers last night following a 3-3 draw against ground-sharers Erith Town.
The 'visitors' started the match on the front foot and took the lead after 9 minutes as Ola Rabiu's shot was blocked by 'home' keeper Richie Stroud, but Rabiu followed in to head home the rebound.
10 minutes later the Dockers were handed an equaliser as the Millers failed to clear the defensive lines before the ball found Marcus Cassius to slot home.
At this point, the Dockers began to take the upper hand while the Millers were unable to keep the ball and were starting to look nervous.
After 33 minutes the Dockers took the lead as Ritchie Hammel's free kick curled towards the far post to evade all comers and nestle in the corner of the goal.
But the Millers responded and 3 minutes later, good interplay between Alwayne Jones and Aaron Jeffery ended when Jones fired a shot past Stroud from the edge of the penalty area.
Just before the break, Joe Matthews twisted a knee and had to be replaced by Ryan Sawyer and looks likely to be out of action for a couple of weeks.
But 5 minutes into the second half and the Dockers regained the lead as Kane Rice was allowed time and space to shoot across the goal from 20 yards, the ball hitting the inside of the post before rolling across the line.
The Millers began to regain some composure on the ball and started to threaten the home side's goal and they were rewarded as Jeffery levelled the scores on 76 minutes.
James Holder had a couple of goes of stopping Jeffery's run towards goal, before bringing down the striker, some 20 yards from goal. Jeffery picked himself up to fire the free kick into the top corner of the net, leaving Stroud as a mere spectator!
Jeffery almost grabbed a 4th for the Millers moments later as he stormed through the Dockers defence before sliding the ball past Stroud again, only for an assistant referee to spot sub Alex Chambers in an offside position as he tried to play the ball back into Jeffery's path.
Both sides pressed hard for a winning goal but none were forthcoming as the match ended in a deserved draw.
Manager Paul Gross kept his players on the pitch for 15 minutes after the game as he vented his fury at the drop in standards from Saturday's rout of Rochester United.
But the Millers will now prepare for the tough looking trip to League leaders Erith & Belvedere on Saturday knowing that they will be looking to bounce back from their first League defeat of the season at Corinthian on Tuesday.

Erith Town 3 v Cray Valley 1
Goals: ET- Joe Nwoko 57, Aaron Jeffrey, Rikki Cable
CV- Jamie Wood 55

The Millers slumped to a second defeat in 4 days with a 3-1 loss to Erith Town, who were ground sharing in the second "Badgers" Derby for the season on Tuesday evening.
The Dockers narrowly edged the first half but it was the Millers who went in front on 55 minutes when Jamie Wood fired into the top corner from 18 yards following good work on the right from Tyrus Gordon-Young. The lead lasted just two minutes though as former Miller Joe Nwoko burst through to calmly slot the ball underneath Matt Bailey in the Millers goal. Further goals from Aaron Jeffrey and Rikki Cable ensured the Dockers completed the 'double' over the Millers this season.

Cray Valley 3 v Erith Town 4
Notes from match programme: ...after agreeing to a 3 year ground sharing agreement, today we face our 'tenants' Erith Town for the first time!.. Frank May, Chairman.

The Millers slipped to their first defeat of the season today after Erith Town snatched the points with a 90th minute winner in the scorching Bank Holiday sunshine at Badgers.
Tunde Aderonmu and Adam Gross found first half equalisers for the Millers before Joe Matthews headed the home side in front for the first time.
However, injuries forced the Millers to change their back line and Erith snatched the goals to seal their late victory.

Match Action.
