Canvey Island will look to get back to winning ways on the road this Tuesday evening, as they make the short trip to Aveley to take on Hashtag United.

Our Opponents
The Tags are competing their sophomore season in the Isthmian League Premier, following on from their first ever outing at Step 3, after winning the Isthmian North title the season before.

Founded in 2016 as an exhibition side of YouTube star Sebastian Carmichael-Brown, the club was officially entered into the non league pyramid in the 18/19 season. They've gone from strength to strength on the pitch, earning 3 promotions in that time. Last season, they proved a stern opponent for most in the Isthmian Premier, finishing a respectable 13th in the table. Across the spectrum of the club too, they've seen success, with their women's team obtaining national silverware last year and their reserve and youth sides making strides in the regional divisions.

This season perhaps hasn't started as the club would have liked however, with inconsistent form seeing then languish in 19th place a third of the way into the campaign, moored to the relegation places on a slim margin of goal difference. Their last outing saw them pick up a hard fought point at home to Dartford however, before FA Trophy duties on Sunday saw them advance after a late winner against National League North side Brackley Town - with a trip to Hampton & Richmond their reward in the next round.

Despite their current league position however, manager Jay Devereux certainly has a side capable of taking it to any team on their day. Experienced Isthmian names like Jack Giddens, Darren Foxley and Max Cornhill partner exciting talents such as Sakariya Hassan, Harrison Day and Luke May-Parrott, with talisman midfielder Toby Amoloaran a driving force in the centre of the park.

The two sides have already met once this season in the Gulls first home game, with the visitors claiming a 2-1 victory on a warm August evening at Park Lane. Kane Gilbert scored Canvey's goal on the night.

The Gulls
Canvey meanwhile, will be looking to get back to winning ways after a narrow 3-2 defeat at league leaders Dover Athletic on Saturday.

An entertaining game saw a spirited Gulls performance almost earn a result in Kent, with an Elliott Ronto brace seeing them lead twice, only for two quickfire goals from the hosts to flip the script and see the Gulls leave empty handed.

Still, there were plenty of positives to take from the game, and the Gulls were bolstered on the day by the return of Finlay Dorrell from injury and the second debut of defender Jaden Crowhurst, who rejoined the club from Walton & Hersham in the week.

The Gulls have been good travellers this season, with Saturdays defeat being there first in five - with the previous four away trips all producing wins.

***
Yellow Army, thank you for your phenomenal support on the road on Saturday. At a big ground, in front of a big crowd, you made yourselves heard throughout, and the squad appreciates that tremendous backing on those difficult trips.

With this being a shorter trip in county lines, we hope the Yellow Army can join us again in numbers as we look to pick up another valuable three points on the road.

Come on you Gulls!
