WALTHAM Abbey travel to take on Enfield Town FC on the opening day of the season, for which the club is preparing today with a pre-season tie against Hertford Town.

The Ryman one north campaign kicks off on August 21 and Abbey want to be sure they are best placed to bounce back from the disappointment of relegation in May.

Wannabe players have the chance to impress the club and maybe win a place in the squad. For management, the match against Hertford today should supply an insight about the capabilities of the squad.
