Match Preview

AFC start the first of three away fixtures within a week when they slip away to take on Staines Town, looking to continue their recent upturn in form.

Manager Jamie Godbold will have been pleased with his recent signings, Kieran Monlouis (pictured) and Tevan Alen showing in the game against Worthing. They will be in the squad, that will again without the injured Erkan Okay and Jack Wilkinson, while Sam Bantick is serving the last game of a two match suspension. The good news is that Jordan Blackwell is fit enough to be included after nearly six weeks out. There are a number of the club's Academy players also involved in the match day scenario.

Staines Town are only five points better off than AFC but are six places above them, and that shows how tight the middle part of the Ryman Premier League is.

The Klarners luxury coach for the game leaves The Wardale Williams Stadium at 11.00am. It will travel via Halstead, Braintree, and Harlow.
