AVELEY travel to the Gallagher Stadium, home of Maidstone United in the Vanarama National League South playoffs.

Follow the match live on Thurrock Nub News tomorrow evening (Wednesday 24 April) from 18:45.

Aveley were tipped for relegation in their National League South debut but have transformed into the plucky team no one wants to play. Against all odds they secured seventh place and a chance of a third successive promotion on the last day when they beat Bath City two-nil.

For the Millers' fairy-tale to continue they will need to get past Maidstone United who are a very strong side and go into the match as odds-on favourites.

Maidstone have already had an unforgettable season after knocking out Championship side Ipswich in the FA Cup fourth round before losing to Coventry in the fifth round.

Earlier today @AveleyFC posted on X, "AGAINST THE ODDS. GIVING IT EVERYTHING WE'VE GOT." Millers are expected to sell out the away end in one of the biggest games in the club's history.

If Aveley progress they will be away to Worthing on Sunday 28th (3pm).
