This will be the first time we’ll be playing on our new FIFA2* artificial pitch which was installed over the past two months. The first-team will have trained on the surface Thursday evening before the goals go back into position and we await the 3pm kick-off on Saturday.
Manager Matt Howard, along with assistant manager Luke Garrord and coach Glen Boosey, will be taking charge of his first home game since arriving during the close season.
Howard, who was in charge of Corinthian Casuals last campaign, has been putting his stamp on the first-team squad and the new management team will be looking for a positive performance and hopefully a third win from four pre-season matches to date.
Fans should also be treated to seeing some of Howard’s new signings during proceedings, including the likes of forward Greg Andrews and defenders Adam Thompson and Lewis Gonsalves.
We drew 2-2 in an entertaining friendly against Egham this time last year with our goals coming from Kingsley Aikhionbare and Mickel Miller.
Prices for this match are £5 for adults, £3 for seniors and £1 for U18s.
