We are delighted to confirm two more pre-season friendlies. These being against Isthmian Division One North sides Witham Town FC and Tilbury FC.

We will host Witham Town on Tuesday 18th July at 7.45pm.

Adam Flint and his squad finished in 13th place this season in the Isthmian North with a run made to the 4th round of the Essex Senior Cup also being made during the season before a 6-0 defeat away at Colchester United.

Our last meeting with Witham was back on Saturday 11th March 2017 when a Scott Kemp double alongside a Nathan Koranteng strike resulted in Witham winning 3-1 in the Alan Turvey Trophy at The Frost Financial Stadium. Harley Kee scored the consolation goal for Rovers.

Elsewhere, we also host Tilbury FC on Thursday 20th July at 7.45pm.

Gary Henty led his squad to a 12th place finish this season with a fantastic run made in the Essex Senior Cup where the club made it to the semi-finals before being defeated away at East Thurrock United by 3-2.

Our last meeting was back on Monday 2nd January 2017 when a goal apiece from both Kurt Smith and Ricky Evans secured a 1-1 draw between the two sides at Chadfields.

We thank both Witham and Tilbury for agreeing to send sides down to play us and we look forward to welcoming the supporters, officials and management from the two sides in what will be two fantastic games being held at Borroughs Park during pre-season.

We will release the admission prices for these home friendlies over the coming weeks with future friendlies to be confirmed in the near future once agreed.
