The Magpies played their last friendly tonight before their competitive season gets underway on Saturday in the FA Cup.

​In a designated training match, with regular intervals for coaching purposes, they took on Furnace Green Rovers of the Mid Sussex League who very kindly accommodated the Club's requirements.

​Amongst the tweaking there were goals for the in-form Cecil Jee (above) and Mark Cave along with a first strike of the pre-season for Zach Haulkham.

​All involved got a good amount of on-field time and combined with the other performances across the pre-season schedule, the Magpies go into the season opener in 4 days' time at Erith & Belvedere in good confidence.

​The Club would like to express their gratitude to Furnace Green Rovers for their willingness to play the format desired this evening along with being flexible over the late change in venue for the match. All at Plaistow Road wish them all the very best for the forthcoming season.
