Our first game of this pre-season sees us welcome new opponents in the shape of Crawley Green who are members of the Spartan South Midlands League and have been since 1995/6 when they joined the predecessor South Midlands League. However they only reached the premier division for the first time last season although an 11th place finish was a good start at the top level. The team is based on Crawley Green Sports from Luton but currently play their matches at Barton Rovers.

Both teams are playing their first matches of the pre-season and we can expect Ware to field a number of their new signings at some point in the match. I'm given to understand that Ahmed Abdulla will be among those on show at some point in the match.

This is the first of five home friendlies before the start of the season proper with Harlow Town next up on Tuesday.
