The Swifts sit fifth after two games, having started their season off with a 4-0 win away to Thamesmead Town, followed by a 1-1 draw at home to Needham Market.

Former Blue, Bertie Brayley had a penalty saved by Needham Market keeper on Tuesday, which would have sent them top. Brayley claims it's the first penalty he's missed in 12 years.

Heybridge and Grays last met in the Ryman Division One North on 29 March 2011 at Rookery Hill. The game ended 1-1, with John Docker equalising with a penalty in the 85th minute. Ten days prior, Heybridge defeated the Blues 3-1 at Scraley Road also in the league.

Bradley Thomas is serving the last of a three game suspension, whilst forwards Jean-Michel Sigere and Louis Dennis are still expected to be out through injury. Grant Cooper had to be substituted Wednesday evening following a shoulder injury.
