Perhaps a welcome break from league football as Colchester United CC & Braintree Town face off to decide who makes it to next stage of the Essex Senior Cup. All the pre-match information is available here!
Braintree Town could be less fresh than the hosts in this fixture, as they played a Vanarama National League South game only three sleeps ago. That game was also an away game, at Tonbridge Angels. It will be interesting to see if they are fully ready and rested for this match, and/or if some changes in the lineup is necessary.
