Also in July, in the League, the Championship Division also played their last matches of the 2026 season. Pirates had a good, undefeated day. They started with a 0-0 draw against Stanway Rovers and followed with a 1-1 draw with Billericay Town White. Then came two 1-0 victories over Valley Green Emeralds and Billericay Town Red. Then it was back to a 0-0 draw with Beacon Hill Rovers White, before winning their final match 2-0 against Romford.
