BOOSTED by this week's decision they they will keep the three points from a recent match at Welling that was abandonded due to floodlight failure, Millers will be looking to climb into the higher echelons of the Isthmian Premier when they entertain Chatham Town today (Saturday, 23 August).

It will be Millers' third home match of the season, having drawn (1-1) with Brentwood and Burgess Hill Town (3-3).

Like their hosts Chatham go into the match unbeaten, in second place after two wins and a draw - all at home.

After the disappointment of a midweek exit from the Emirates FA Cup, Grays travel to fellow Isthmian North side Brantham Athletic in the preliminary round of the Isuzu FA Trophy. Brantham won the Thurlow Nunn Premier Division last season to graduate into the fourth tier of non-League football. 

Tilbury, who avoided being picked in the draw for the additional Trophy round, continue their Isthmian North campaign at home to Lowestoft Town. The sides are evenly matched, both having won and lost their opening two fixtures. Dockers started the season with defeat at Mildenhall  but bounced back with a home derby win against Concord Rangers. Last week they made progress in the FA Cup with a win against AFC Dunstable that earned them a trip to Needham Market in the first qualifying round next weekend.

East Thurrock Community FC entertain Thorpe Athletic (3pm) in the Essex & Suffolk Border League Premier Division and something will have to give at the Wyldecrest Sports Club. The visitors are second with three wins from three, while Rocks are also unbeaten in their opening two matches, having won at home to White Notley and at Arlesford Colne Rangers.
