Witham Town (A) Match Preview – Chelmsford City FC

Robbie Simpson’s side will certainly be excited by the chance to start the new
season off with some silverware, and this first competitive test for the team is
certainly not one to miss, as we look forward to beginning our National League South campaign in a ten day’s time.

Here’s all that Clarets supporters need to know ahead of the game…

Opposition:

Witham have had a promising pre-season thus far, winning five out of their opening
six friendlies, and despite finishing 14th in the Isthmian North division last year, they will enter this fixture confident ahead of what is bound to be an exciting game.

Former Clarets manager Garry Kimble will be eager to impress following his first
season back at the Simarco Satdium, he returned to the helm for a second stint after being in charge during the most successful period in Witham’s history, in which they were promoted twice in three seasons, and reached the Isthmian Premier Division.

Kimble has extensive experience as a manager, following stints also at Great
Wakering Rovers, Tilbury, Burnham Ramblers, Heybridge Swifts and Bishops
Stortford.

Team News:

Following on from the recent arrivals of Bradley Williams and Jack Turner (pictured below), Chelmsford now enter a matchday with a full named squad for the first time this campaign, however with the league season just around the corner, places may still be up for grabs in the Starting XI against Slough Town on the 10th of August.
