Canvey Island begin 2023 as they make the short trip to Aveley in the Isthmian League Premier.
The Millers are a familiar face to us in a league of new grounds and overdue reunions, having been promoted from the Isthmian North last season as champions in a tightly contested title race. They've had a fine start to life in the level above, currently sitting 4th at time of writing, with their last result an impressive 3-1 victory away at Corinthian Casuals on Tuesday.
The Gulls meanwhile, came unstuck in their last fixture, going down to a 2-0 defeat to local rivals Bowers & Pitsea on Boxing Day, in a fiery match on the pitch.
This will be our 42nd competitive meeting with the Millers, the local match up stretching all the way back to 1958 in the record books.
Our last meeting was more recent of course, although this is the first contest between the two sides of the current season.
Our last trip to Parkside saw us draw 1-1 in front of a large crowd as the two sides battled for promotion. Elliott Ronto was the Canvey goalscorer on the day.
With the table narrowing and points at a premium, the Gulls will need a big performance as they begin possibly their most testing month of the season. They'll need your support as they battle to keep in contention for a spot in the Isthmian Premier playoffs.
We wish all fans travelling a safe and easy journey to Aveley.
Come on you Gulls!
