This was a really early pre-season fixture and it was played on a day when the temperature reached just under 30°C.
There was a change of opposition as Gt Wratting who had agreed to come to King’s Marsh pulled out. Aveley took the fixture in order to give a number of trialists a run out.
AFC for their part relied on the majority of last seasons squad of young players, the only new signing being the returning Jordan Blackwell.
AFC ran out comfortable 5-1 winners, witn Tom Maycock, Mehki McKenzie (2) and Max Booth along with an own goal the scorers. The visitors scored a goal late on.
