Over 450 people turned up for Paul Hillier's Testimonial as visitors Ipswich Town Reserves ran out comfortable winners 7-2.

The first-half saw Town race into a 6-1 interval lead and was witnessed by Roy Keane before his half-time departure.

Clacton lad Tom Eastman had given FCC the lead as early as the 2nd minute with an own-goal, before goals from Shane O'Connor, Jaime Peters, Ed Upson (penalty), Kevin Lisbie, Reggie Lambe and O'Connor again kept the crowd on their feet in a lively first period.

With the usual abundance of substitutions in a second-half of a friendly, the Seasiders will be please to have equalled out the scoring for this particular period of the game. Kevin Coyle pulled a goal back on 51 minutes before David Cawley rounded off the scoring for the night two minutes later.

Ex-Clacton favourites Glen Hepburn, Darren Gould, Steve Daly and Keith Hetherington also took part in this game.
