AVELEY FC have just announced there will be live football in the borough this afternoon after all!

The Millers were due to play East Thurrock United in a friendly at Parkside this afternoon (Saturday, 5 December) but the Rocks pulled out last night due to Covid-19-related issues.

However, at the eleventh hour Braintree Town have stepped in and will provide the opposition for a match that will kick-off at 3.30pm.
