* First-Half Fightback: Thurrock regrouped, built pressure, and capitalized on a precise short-corner routine to level the score heading into halftime.
* Second-Half Precision: Havering struck again after winning a short corner of their own, as Ralph expertly slipped the ball past the keeper to put Havering back in front.
* Resilient Finish: Thurrock pushed hard and, after Havering HC fairly owned up to a foul in the D to prompt the umpire's whistle, converted the resulting penalty corner to equalize once more.
