Gulls To Host Brightlingsea Regent

We have been drawn at home to Bostik Premier side Brightlingsea Regent in the Buildbase FA Trophy 1st Qualifying Round.

Brightlingsea are currently 20th in their division and drew 1-1 away to Whitehawk on Saturday. They include former-Canvey midfielder Harry Morgan in their ranks.

The draw, which took place at Wembley Stadium earlier today, paired us against the R's for the first time in a competitive fixture. Our only previous encounter came in a friendly at The Frost Hire Stadium in 2009 when goals from Leon Gordon, James Rowe, Richard Halle, Ian Luck, Jay Curran, and Craig Davidson earned us a 6-0 victory.

Brightlingsea Regent were formed in 2005 when Regent Park Rangers merged with Brightlingsea United, the latter being a regular opponent of ours in the Essex Senior League between 1975-1990.

The tie will take place on Saturday 27th October, kick off at 15:00.
