Grays Athletic boss Mark Stimson admitted to being delighted with his side's 2-0 home success over a strong Leyton Orient line-up and they followed up with a 2-1 defeat by Colchester at The Rec on Saturday.

Grays bring a team down to Burroughs Park tomorrow to take on Great Wakering Rovers, while Billericay open their pre-season campaign the same night at Tilbury.

Thurrock's home clash with Orient is probably the pick of tomorrow's games, while Aveley go to Met Police.
