AFC Hornchurch 0 Met. Police 0
Tuesday 5th August
In a game where few scoring chances fell to either team a stalemate was always going to be the outcome. The highlight of the evening was probably the excellent second half penalty save by Urchins 'keeper Dale Brightly. Colin again used this opportunity to view a number of trialists and with only one more pre-season friendly to go his plans will surely be taking shape. We thank Met. Police for giving our lads such a good run out this evening and wish them well for the coming season.

Colin used today's game to see what our trialist players had to offer so whilst the result did not go in our favour the game did provide the opportunity to plan for the season ahead. Our thanks to Great Wakering who were the perfect hosts and we wish them well in their 2008/09 campaign.
