The blues host Harlow Town in the 1st qualifying round of the FA Cup at Mill Field this Saturday

Grays Athletic welcome Harlow Town to Mill Field this Saturday in the 1st round qualifying of the FA Cup.
Last years FA Cup run saw Ryan Kirby's blues win 2-1 against Romford in the 1st round qualifying with the goals coming from Joao Carlos and Kenny Beaney. The blues then took on Tilbury in the 2nd round in a local cup derby running out as 3-0 victors at Mill Field. Two goals from Jack West and one from Joao Carlos was enough to see off a physical Tilbury side in front of a healthy crowd of 368.
In a game that many supporters saw as a missed opportunity the blues lost to a rampant Daventry Town losing 0-4 at home in the 3rd qualifying round in an humiliating home defeat at Mill field.

Harlow Town currently sit in 2nd place in the Ryman one North divison wining 8 of their last 9 league matches.
Grays last met Harlow Town in April 2013 winning 2-1 at Barrows farm in the Ryman one Division North.

In what looks set to be a typical cup tie between two old rivals the blues will be looking to better last years 3rd round qualifying exit. A full squad is expected with the exception of Mark Bentley who could be subject to a late fitness test having taken a nasty knock against Dulwich Hamlet on Wednesday night.

The winner of Saturdays match will receive £3,000 from the FA.
