Kevin Barry (Johnville) wins this header from Southends John Power.
Johnville 2; Southend United 4
Phew ! What a thrilling opening game between the two clubs who got relegated from the Premier League in recent times. Johnville dropped out of the top flight last season while Southend lost their status the previous year. Both are expected to make a bold bid to get back to the top table this term and following this contest Southend are immediately inthe driving seat.
