First half shock for Grays in derby friendly
By Nub News Reporter 19th Jul 2025

Brentwood Town 5, Grays Athletic 0
A LATE switch of venue saw today's (Saturday, 19 July) Grays Athletic friendly against Isthmian Premier Brentwood take place away and the journey proved to be a disappointing one for the Blues.
Kymani Thomas gave Brentwood, last season's Isthmian North champions, the lead after ten minutes and it was doubled by a Town trialist 11 minutes later.
Sam Park added to Blues' woes with a third on 26 minutes and by half time Grays were five down thanks to another goal from Thomas and one from Charlee Hughes.
The second half, which featured a number of player changes, was a much quieter affair, with no more goals.
Grays are next in pre-season action on Tuesday (22 July) with a trip to VCD Athletic, ahead of next weekend's friendly at Chadfields against Tilbury.
