A good local derby for us and, as Aveley are away in their FA Cup 1st Qualifying Round tie on 12 September, we can have a nice home Saturday fixture in the next round if we get past Redbridge.

FA TROPHY

Preliminary Round to be played on 3 October
Romford v AFC Sudbury

First Qualifying Round to be played on 17 October
Romford or Sudbury v Billericay Town

Sudbury could be a Saturday tie for us if Aveley start their league fixtures at home on August 15th but, as Aveley have a home first qualifying round Trophy game on 17 October, we could face a Friday or Sunday first qualifying round tie against Billericay on that weekend if we win through in the preliminary round.

However if we start our league season at home on August 15 then we will very likely be faced with a Friday or Sunday game too for the Sudbury tie.
