Grays Athletic face another Kent based Ryman Division One South club this Saturday, when they travel to Whitstable Town in a pre-season friendly.

The Blues are coming off a 5-1 defeat to West Ham United, which included stars such as Abdoulaye Faye, Junior Stanislas, Frank Nouble and Zavon Hines - with Big Sam also in attendance at Rookery Hall. Louis Dennis from Dagenham & Redbridge scored Grays' only goal of the game.

Whitstable Town, nicknamed the Oystermen, finished last season in 15th place in the Ryman Division One South, nine points clear of the drop zone. Last Saturday they played local rivals Herne Bay for the Bruce Smith Shield, losing out 2-0.
