The three Jammers

Maldon & Tiptree had a collection of debutants in their draw with Coggeshall Town on Saturday.

Goalkeeper Noah Phillips plays for Leyton Orient, and has already had a loan spell with Pitching In Isthmian Premier title chasers Bishop's Stortford this season. Noah has previous Pitching In Isthmian Premier experience, too- he made three appearances for Hornchurch at the start of last season, playing in a win over Horsham and defeats against Cray Wanderers and Kingstonian. He has also spent time with Waltham Abbey.

Midfielder Sam Carter comes in from East Thurrock United, and is not to be confused with the Sam Carter at Heybridge Swifts- heaven forbid, we almost made that mistake and it would have had us run out of town! Sam joined the Rocks from Concord Rangers in September, and went on to play thirty one times for the Rocks.

Michael Salako started this season with Pitching In Isthmian Premier side Brightlingsea Regent, but has more recently been with Basildon United.

Prior to his time with Regent Michael was with Stansted, but he was also an Isthmian player during the 2019-20 campaign, when he made a few appearances for Hullbridge Sports. He was with Tilbury during 2016-17 and 2017-18, and had a previous spell with the Jammers at the start of 2016-17.

He spent time with Corinthian-Casuals during 2014-15, and apparently also played for Tooting & Mitcham United and Walton & Hersham.

He was also with Bowers & Pitsea during their pre-Isthmian days.
