Fisher FC provides the opposition for our opening pre-season friendly the Southern Counties East Football League (SCEFL) side finished 12th last season and will aim to climb the league table next season, the Bay meanwhile will look to start the season strongly after finishing 5th last season before the Coronavirus pandemic prevented the season from finishing.

The Bay come into the game on a good run of form albeit 5 months ago having lost only once in our last seven games. Fisher comes into the game having played 2 pre-season matches already beating Basildon United 1-0 before losing 2-0 to Tooting and Mitcham United with their last game of the 19-20 season 150 days ago being a 2-0 win over Punjab United.

The Bay's management team has used the extended offseason to keep hold of the majority of last seasons squad as well as adding 3 familiar names to the side Raphe Brown, Dan Johnson and Sam Bewick all return to the Bay and are aiming to help the side push on for promotion. Johnson stated on his return to the side that he has unfinished business with the club.

The first team has been training since mid July so come into the game a lot fitter than they usually are at the beginning of the pre-season matches and will look to start pre-season off on the right foot with a win.

You can see first-team manager Ben Smith's thoughts on our first pre-season game in his first pre-match interview on the clubs official YouTube channel HBFC-TV..

We must remind fans that all of our pre-season friendlies including this one will be played behind closed doors in line with current Government guidelines so please do not attempt to enter the ground on Tuesday night.

Kick-off is at the earlier time of 7:30PM and you can follow match updates on the club's Twitter and Facebook accounts as well as match highlights and post-match interviews with Ben and a member of the playing squad being posted on HBFC-TV on Wednesday afternoon.
