With the opening day defeat at Folkestone now firmly behind Adam Hinshelwood’s men following consecutive victories over Bowers & Pitsea and previously unbeaten Cray Wanderers, they’ll be looking to continue that good feeling with a win over their arch-rivals.

The Rocks are winless from their opening three Isthmian League Premier Divisions matches, registering one draw and two defeats, the latest of which a 2-1 home reverse at the hands of Haringey Borough on Saturday.

Team News

Hinshelwood is likely to be without defender Cam Tutt who returned from suspension on Saturday but picked up an injury to his collar bone. Joel Colbran’s quad injury will likely mean he continues to be absent, while former Rock Alex Parsons continues to be a long term absentee.

“Dayshonne and Marvin put a lot of work through the legs (on Saturday), as did Tom and Ollie so we’ll have to see how every fairs up”

Key Players

Former Portsmouth midfielder Charlie Bell could be one to watch, the 18-year-old grabbed both goals in his sides draw with East Thurrock recently, while another 18-year-old Nathan Odokonyero, who was amongst the goals in pre-season opened his account at the weekend.
