Gravesend & Northfleet's first pre-season match was made up of a team of signed players and loads of trialist. The Fleet lost the match 3-1.

Liam Daish had this match down as a trial match for the players that have come on trial this summer who are looking to sign for The Fleet come August 12th.

 

But I don't think some will be back after today but we will have to wait and see after losing to a strong Invicta side 3-1.

 

A surpise player back was former loanee Jefferson Louis who was on loan 2 seasons ago when he was at Woking.
