We welcome National League side Ebbsfleet United (step 1) for the first of our three home friendlies. The two sides have not met previously.

Ebbsfleet United: Danny Seale the former Aldershot and Braintree manager is now at the helm at Stonebridge Road having taken the reigns following the sacking of Danny Kutrieb at the end of January 2024. The Fleet has dropped into the drop zone at that time but Seale helped steer them to safety, eventually finishing in 19th place with 54 points from their 46 games. The played their first official pre season game last Thursday evening winning 6-1 at SCEFL Premier side Punjab United in the annual Steve Cook memorial match.

Millers: Steve McKimm and his team will be looking forward to their third pre-season game and will I am sure be tested by their step 1 opponents. Saturday saw a trip to step 4 South Park (Reigate) which ended goalless, Max Ovenden in the Millers goal making a penalty save right on half time to maintain their clean sheet.

Look out for our pre-season matchday booklet which will be on sale at £3 and covers the three home friendlies, Ebbsfleet United, Sevenoaks Town and Welling United.
