With around 4 weeks before pre-season commences, Tilbury are putting their finishing touches to pre-season, with no less than 7 fixtures planned, prior to the season starting on 17th August.

We open with an away game at Eastern Counties South side Burnham Ramblers on 16th July with a 7.45pm kick off. The sides met twice last season in friendly matches.

We then have a run of two home games. On 20th July, we welcome Hollands and Blair for our annual fixture, before we welcome our friends and rivals Grays Athletic to play for the Stan Veness Trophy on 27th July 3.00pm.

On the 3rd August, we travel to South East London to play this year’s FA Vase finalists Cray Valley PM 3.00pm. Cray were also promoted to Bostik South East Division. Cray have two former Dockers in there squad (Francis Babalola and Ryan Flack)

On 6th August, we make the short hop to Bostik Premier League side East Thurrock United, with the Robin Nash Trophy up for grabs. The kick-off is expected to be 7.30pm.

Our final pre-season game on 10th August, will see us travel in to Kent for another regular game, where we will play Hythe Town 3.00pm. Hythe have had the better of the matches over the last three years.
