There will be a different club lifting the BBC Essex Senior Cup this season as current holders, Braintree Town, were beaten 3-1 in the Fourth Round by Pitching In Isthmian League side Hashtag United, who are looking to win the silverware for the first time.

With the quarter-final and semi-final draws having already taken place, a recent flurry of matches has seen the competition catch-up a little after some wintry weather. Hashtag defeated another Vanarama National League South side, Aveley, in the last eight, running out 1-0 winners with a late goal. The Millers had previously secured a 2-0 victory against Dagenham & Redbridge.

Last season’s runners-up, Concord Rangers, emerged as 5-0 winners against Grays Athletic in Round Four, but were beaten 2-0 by Isthmian North side Redbridge in the quarter-finals. The Motormen added to their Senior Cup scalps after they beat high-flying National League South side, Chelmsford City, on penalties in Round Four.

Elsewhere, Sky Bet Football League Two side Colchester United are into the semi-finals after beating Buckhurst Hill 5-1 at the JobServe Community Stadium. Those two teams had progressed past Walthamstow and Canvey Island respectively in Round Four.

In the only quarter-final tie still to be played, Maldon & Tiptree will face Little Oakley, with a semi-final clash against Redbridge the prize for the winners. Maldon were victorious against Witham Town, while Little Oakley beat Brentwood Town.
