The Millers continued their pre-season with a convincing win over Sevenoaks Town hitting five including a hat trick for ex Oaks striker Freddie Parker.

Oaks manager Marcel Nimani since taking over has brought in a completely new squad for this season and for the opening twenty minutes or so they enjoyed plenty of possession as they moved the ball around. Valley though slowly grew into the game and Lyle Della Verde went close with a couple of shots, the first saved by the Oaks keeper and the second just wide of the post. Valley took the lead on 35 minutes, Freddie Parker with a good finish from inside the box, finding space and firing low into the far corner. Two minutes later and the lead was doubled, good work from Andre Coker saw him find Tom Chambers overlapping out wide on the left. His well struck cross came off the head of the unforunate Oaks defender and ex-Miller Ryan Sawyer past the keeper into his own net.

Valley added a third immediately after the interval, Julian Anau with the pass to Lyle Della Verde whose low shot into the far corner found the back of the net. Mark Watson the Millers first team coach was the man in charge today with Steve McKimm and Barry Moore both away and ensured the squad was utilised with changes at the break and again on the hour mark.

62 minutes and the Oaks had what could well have been their first shot on target, ex Miller Michael Hagan fired a low shot across goal but the trialist keeper got down well to get a hand to it and push it away for a corner. Valley increased their lead further on 76 minutes Parker with his second from inside the area, his shot going in off the far post. With five minutes or so remaining Parker completed his hat trick. Excellent build up with Hassan Ibrahiym making a powerful run from his own half through the middle before passing out wide to Denzel Gayle whose cross was tapped home from close range.

No game Tuesday but the players will train and then again on Thursday before completing the third of their home friendlies against local National South side Welling United next Saturday. Kick off is 1pm.
