Saturday’s 2 – 0 win at home to Wycombe Wanderers marked an incredible calendar year since Southend United’s Youth team had felt the bitter taste of defeat in a League fixture.
Brighton & Hove Albion were the last club to record a victory against The Shrimpers on March 1st 2008.
Ricky Duncan’s charges continued their pursuit of the Puma Youth Alliance South East Conference title thanks to strikes from Craig Calver and Kyle Asante at the weekend and will now hope to take advantage of games in hand to reach the summit of the table.
With three consecutive home wins recorded in 2009, The Shrimpers now take to the road for the first time in over four months as they look to chase down Rushden & Diamonds, QPR and Peterborough.
