It's ground zero in Non League Div One: Isthmian North - the first game of the season. Read the full preview and see how Romford and Tilbury did in their pre-season friendlies!
Tilbury could be less fresh than the hosts in this fixture, as they played a Non League Div One: Isthmian North game only four sleeps ago. That game, against Basildon United, was also an away game. It's a tiring schedule for Tilbury.
These teams are located so close to each other that their supporters eat in the same restaurants, hang out at the same night clubs and give birth at the same hospitals. This means added importance to the game and a vibrant atmosphere.
