TILBURY and Aveley aim to take a step closer to Wembley whilst Grays face league action on Saturday (9 December).

The Dockers face Saffron Walden in the FA Vase third round at the EMR Stadium. This fixture was supposed to be played last weekend, but the game was postponed due to a frozen pitch.

In their last game, Tilbury beat FC Clacton 4-1 after a great performance. The Dockers will be hoping to pick up the same way they left off.

The sides have met before this season in the Essex Senior League with Tilbury beating Saffron Walden two-nil. A trip to Wembley may well be on the horizon for Tilbury!

Aveley play Hungerford Town at Parkside in the FA Trophy fourth round. The Millers have not won in three games since their last cup fixture where they beat St Ives town 2-1.

The away side sit fifth in the Premier Division South and have not lost in 11 matches.

Grays travel to the SEH Sports Ground to play Ipswich Wanderers in the Isthmian League North Division. The Blues have been enjoying life under new boss Darren Manning and won their last game 2-0 against Stowmarket Town.

Wanderers also won their last game 2-0 against Bury Town, but before that game, they were in poor form.

The Blues have the opportunity to go one point behind Wanderers with a win, who sit in 15th place.
