We potentially have five Saturday home games in August, including the Men’s FA Cup and FA Vase ties against Benfleet and Long Melford respectively.

Our first ever Boxing Day game will be one of our longest treks of the season, to Witham to play Hackney Wick.

There are also two games over Easter, with Hackney Wick at home on Saturday, March 27 and then Soul Tower Hamlets away on Monday, March 29.

Across the season there are going to be 16 East London derbies:
