Foresters Essex Senior League side Hullbridge Sports are following in Southend United's footsteps.

For they are taking on Potters Bar Town, beaten 4-0 by Blues away last Wednesday, in one of four home pre-season build-up games they've got planned for their Lower Road, Hullbridge, ground.

Their first is tonight (Friday) when Ryman League Division Two Great Wakering are the visitors for a 7.45pm kick-off and they follow-up with a visit from Canning Town next Saturday (July 28 3pm).

The following Saturday, August 4, again 3pm, it's the turn of Spartan South Midlands League Potters Bar to come to Lower Road and they then entertain Ryman opposition in the shape of Tilbury on Thursday August 9 (7.45pm).

The Hullbridge club are also on the lookout for under-11, 12, 14 and 16 players for their Southend Junior League teams and under-18s for their Eastern Junior Alliance outfit.
