AVELEY'S return to Isthmian League football will start with an Essex derby against near neighbours Brentwood Town who were promoted last season, while Millers dropped down from the National League south.

The first match of the campaign will see Aveley play host to Brentwood Town at Parkside on Saturday, 9 August.

The first away match will be on the following Tuesday when Millers make the short trip to welling United, who also dropped from the National League last season.
