The Millers fielded a strong side against a very big and physical FC Romania who left nothing on the pitch as they went hell for leather to win this friendly.

The hosts FC Romania started on top being able to pass the ball around the midfield without a real challenge going in, but their final third play was poor and couldn't really test Marrable in the early stages.

Millers took the lead after a good run and shot from Joe Pearman the goalkeeper parried it and Spencer Harrison, the goal poacher he is tapped home for his 7th goal over last season and this new one, but whose counting? FC Romania 0-1 Aveley FC.

Aveley came again as they endeavoured to double their advantage in East London and were awarded a penalty as the last man took down Petrit Elbi. He stepped up and saw his penalty saved well by the opposition keeper to keep the Millers only one ahead.

That saved proved to be a turning point as their tricky winger cutting inside and out three or four times, and curled the ball towards the bottom corner, it needed the help of the post to go in, but was a superb piece of individual play to level the scores up. FC Romania 1-1 Aveley.

The hosts then superbly took the lead. The ball fell to the centre midfielder, 30 yards out he shot a ridiculous attempt but it went sailing over James Marrable's head for an outstanding goal. FC Romania 2-1 Aveley FC.

Two minutes before the half time whistle went on a scorching afternoon, Paul Preston surged down the left hand-side and delivered a superb ball into the box, which was met superbly by Petrit Elbi and headed into the bottom corner.
