Justin's Magnificent March Has Orient Reaching For Stars

After five very difficult and testing years, it was easily the club’s best month since 2014. In terms of overall achievement, possibly longer.

Orient’s points haul was 16 from a possible 18, the only blot on the copybook a goalless draw at suddenly hard-to-beat Barnet.

Five league wins from six, and two more victories in the FA Trophy semi-final in both legs over AFC Telford United, means Wembley - and a lead in the title race.

Justin Edinburgh guided his side to victories at Havant & Waterlooville, Barrow and Aldershot Town. They were also successful - crucially - at home to Wrexham in the first vs second game and in E10 against AFC Fylde.

Key to their success is their manager’s ability to pull bottom lips off the floor and re-instil confidence when times get hard.

March was a month when Orient grew into the real deal in the title race after a barren February.
They have laid the foundations for the final four weeks and they are desperate to go to Wembley in the FA Trophy final in May, looking to make it a double silverware success.
