Venue: Clarence Park


Leyton Orient are set to travel to Clarence Park, hoping to further build on their momentum this pre-season as they take on St Albans from the National League South.


St Albans are in search for their first victory in what was always going to be a challenging pre-season for the Saints. League Two opposition, Northampton Town and Stevenage, recorded victories at Clarence Park before Luton Town ran out 6-3 winners at the same ground.


In contrast, Orient’s pre-season has been less challenging in terms of results but still a worthy test for the team nonetheless. In their most recent fixture, The O’s showed resilience to overturn a two goal deficit to win 3-2 against Concord Rangers.
