Brentwood Town, starting the day in fifth spot, travelled to take on the side two places and three points behind them, Heybridge Swifts. The Blues hadn’t played since a late, late goal saw them defeated by Lowestoft on February 6th, but prior to that were eight games unbeaten and would have been confident of starting another positive run, particularly as Swifts had lost three of their previous four, and they went ahead after just four minutes, Jesse Olukolu with his first blue goal in his sixth blue match. Swifts levelled at the start of the second half, Jack Adlington-Pile with his seventh goal in seventeen since returning to the club, but the next blow was blue, George Sykes restoring the visitors lead twenty minutes from time. This time the Blues held onto their advantage, and climbed to fourth- although had Swifts not missed a penalty the outcome may have been somewhat different.
