This article focuses upon Leyton Orient’s next opponents, East Thurrock, as we take a look at their form, previous meetings and much more ahead of this weekend’s fixture.
Date: 17/07/2018
Time: 19:45
Venue: Rookery Hill
Orient will travel to Rookery Hill for the third game in what is already shaping up to be an eventful pre-season.
Both sides are set to encounter former players. Marvin Ekpiteta returning to his old stomping ground, whereas Orient youth team product, Harry Lee, could feature for The Rocks.
The Rocks have started their pre-season strongly, kicking it off with a 4-2 victory at Aveley FC before coming from behind to win 2-1 away from home at Canvey Island in their last outing.
In comparison, Orient have racked up 11 goals in just two pre-aseason fixtures. A 7-0 victory at Harlow Town followed by a narrow 5-4 defeat at the hands of the Benfica B team will have given Justin Edinburgh much to think about with less than a month until the start of the season.
