Please Note (13/3/20 Update): The BBC Essex Senior Cup Final has been postponed. All Essex County FA Cup fixtures and coach education courses have been postponed until after Friday 3rd April in alignment with the professional game, following the Football Association’s statement regarding the Coronavirus outbreak.

Below is a copy of the news story which was previously published on 10th March: 

Billericay Town and Dagenham & Redbridge go head-to-head in the BBC Essex Senior Cup Final on Tuesday 31st March at the Jobserve Community Stadium (kick-off 7:45pm), and match tickets are now on sale.

Essex County FA Chief Executive, Brendan Walshe, is looking forward to another showcase event for local football, explaining: “The BBC Essex Senior Cup Final is always one of the marquee events of every season, and this year will be no different.”

“We’re looking forward to the night and would urge everyone to secure their places in the stands or workshop as soon as they can. We’re also excited to, once again, provide a useful workshop before the game where referees can attend and gather invaluable knowledge on the pathway available to them from people who know it well.”

Referee Workshop with Jon Moss

He was appointed to his first Premier League match in December 2010.
