TILBURY FC will begin their 2025-26 Isthmian North campaign with a trip to Mildenhall Town on Saturday (9 August).

Ahead of the opener and reflecting on the pre-season campaign, manager Marc Harrison said: "I think we quite happy with the squad we have got. I feel we have recruited quite well, we will be a bit different than last year.

"We have got a lot more ruthlessness in key areas and we are really pleased.

"We've got strength in depth which is good given the number of games coming up. We have really good options, it will be difficult to pick 16 for the first match at Mildenhall.

"Now it's down to the players. They need to train hard and hopefully we can gel very quickly."

After Saturday's opener, Dockers are quickly back in action with a Thames derby against Concord Rangers at Chadfields on Tuesday (12 August, 7.45pm ko)
