Match Details
Fixture: Canvey Island vs Grays Athletic 

Competition: FA Trophy 

Date: Saturday 29th August 

Kick-off: 3pm

Venue: Steve's Taxis Stadium

We look forward to welcoming supporters to the Steve's Taxis Stadium for our Saturday's fixture which brings together two clubs who know each other extremely well. There is plenty of recent history between Canvey and Grays, and the FA Trophy adds another chapter to a rivalry that stretches back decades.

The Gulls will enter the game with confidence following Mitchell May's outstanding hat-trick at Kings Langley, while Grays will be determined to respond after their midweek defeat. Both clubs also know exactly what it takes to go deep into the FA Trophy, having previously lifted the famous trophy.

With no replay in the event of a draw, the game will be decided by penalties if the scores are level after 90 minutes, adding another layer of intrigue to what should be a fiercely contested afternoon.
