The Blues will play a pre-season friendly away against newly-promoted Vanarama National League Braintree Town on Saturday 14th July (KO 3pm).

According to the Irons, Town have said they will take a first-team squad to Essex for the match.

The Blues last played at Cressing Road in the summer of 2014 when a young team featuring a number of trialists won 1-0 courtesy of a Leroy Lita goal.
