Old Gs continue the build up to the league campaign with a preseason fixture at local rivals Gravesend under lights on Wednesday evening, where they take on their 2s.

Despite the focus being on refining game play and gaining valuable match fitness ahead of the start of the Kent 1 fixtures, local bragging rights will be at stake as both sides look to get one over on their closest rivals.

Fixtures between the sides always prove to be entertaining affairs and this is likely to be no different. Gravesend are a side rebuilding after recent setbacks, with Old Gs being likely to face a youthful energetic side. With Old Gs looking to implement an open, free flowing playing style the game is no doubt going to be a good watch, and easy on the eye.

After a victory at Dartfordians with a fairly limited squad, Old Gs welcome back numerous faces for their first appearance of the 2018/19 campaign, including a club debut for Grant Roe, with the full squad as follows:
