FULL-TIME U's 2 Port Vale 1 - a big victory for Colchester as Kelleher's late winner secures them a fourth successive win and boosts their League Two play-off hopes. Richards had cancelled out Tovide's first-half wonder strike, as U's extend their unbeaten run to 12 matches #colu

Not the best year in our garden for the @Natures_Voice #BigGardenBirdWatch, but great to see the return of a Jay - spotted a few in the garden recently, having not seen many for a number of years bit.ly/3tgxjGS

Despite a blustery start to the first day of @ClactonAirshow yesterday, we were treated to a cracking flight programme and a fantastic twilight display. With the weather due to improve vastly later today, we're set for another awesome display in the skies over #Clacton

Now that the dust has settled, I’m pleased to say our General Election count went incredibly smoothly in Clacton. With almost 100 media colleagues in attendance - including from the US and Canada - I’m proud of the excellent operation run by our @Tendring_DC communications team.

FULL-TIME U's 1 Crewe 1 - Colchester United are staying up! Chilvers' first-half strike gave the hosts a first-half lead and despite Nevitt's stoppage-time equaliser, Danny Cowley's side did enough to stay in League Two. Alex clinch a play-off place with that late goal #colu
