Preview – Braintree T – Sat 2 Dec – KO 15:00

We welcome Braintree Town to The Vale this coming  Saturday (2nd Dec) for our latest Vanarama National League South game kick-off 15:00

Our visitors were relegated from the National League last season and are currently sitting in 2nd place in the National League  South on 35 points from their 19 games played having won 10, drawn 5  and lost 4 , scoring 38 and conceding 24. On their last league outing  they drew 1-1 at home to Truro City

After last night’s exhilarating 2-1 win in the Buildbase FA Trophy 3rd Qualifying Round Replay at Chelmsford City manger Bobby Wilkinson and his management team will be looking to maintain the momentum the Stones players  are now showing on a consistent basis on the pitch for what is likely to be another close game on Saturday.
