Hillians included new signing Jack Taylor, on loan from Sutton United, to help ease their recent defensive injury headache.

Hillians sporting their new green and black kit started slowly and it was Erith who had the first few efforts.

It was the 26th minute before Hill’s first chance as Darren Budd’s shot was deflected over. There were a few half chances during the remainder of the half as it fizzled out.

Sub Reece Hallard forced the keeper into a low save after 60 minutes and soon after Taylor Seymour was twiced called into action to save the Hillians against their Step 5 opponents.

Rob O’Toole and sub Kieran Rowe, curling an effort over the bar, had chances and Kieron Pamment almost won it at the death but his shot was blocked off the line as neither side could find a breakthrough.

They play at the Stanmore Stadium in Thamesmead, full address below.
