Enfield Town travel to Billericay Town on Saturday afternoon as the Ryman Premier Division games continue to come thick and fast. Billericay boss Craig Edwards has had a busy summer making a number of signings after many players departed New Lodge. Many of the team which will start on Saturday will have recently joined the Essex club over the summer.
They have started the season with two 1-1 draws. On Saturday they came away from East Thurrock United with a point thanks to a stoppage time George Beaven goal. On Tuesday evening they shared a point with Tom Derry scoring their goal. In both games their keeper Joe Giddens pulled off a number of good saves impressing all supporter's present.
Bradley Quinton takes his squad into the game on the back of two defeats but with an improved performance against Hendon on Monday evening.
With last season's games between Enfield and Billericay being quite feisty affairs it's all pointing towards another entertaining game on Saturday where both teams will be wanting a win.

TRAVELING TO NEW LODGE FROM ENFIELD
If you are travelling by road you have two options as follows -
M25 from Junction 28 - A12
Continue on the
A12 towards Chelmsford until you reach the next exit (Mountnessing /
Ingatestone). At the roundabout take the first exit (turn left). You
will then come across a mini roundabout where you should take the second
exit (Hutton). Continue along this route until you reach a
mini-roundabout at the end of Wash Road. Turn left here. You are now on
the road to Billericay. On entering Billericay (you will see a welcome
sign on your left) turn right at the first set of traffic lights (near
the car dealership) into Tye Common Road. The ground is down Blunts Wall
Lane which is a little way along on the right.
M25 from Junction 29 - A127
Take the A127 to the Basildon/Billericay (A176)
turn-off, (junction after the Old Fortune of War roundabout). Take
second exit at roundabout (Billericay is signposted). Then straight over
(2nd exit) at the next roundabout. Continue along that road until you
enter Billericay. At the first roundabout take the first available exit.
At the next roundabout (with Billericay School on your left) go
straight over (1st exit). At yet another roundabout!, turn left into the
one-way system. Keep in the left-hand lane and go straight over
roundabout. At first set of lights, turn left. Blunts Wall Road is the
second turning on your right.
If you are coming on the train -
Billericay station is on the Liverpool Street to Southend Victoria line with trains running approximately every 20 mins on most days. The ground is around a twenty-five minute walk from the station. The 1.07pm train from Liverpool Street will get you to Billericay at 1.45pm or the 12.47pm at 1.25pm.
On leaving the
station turn right into Radford way. At the top of the road turn right,
crossing the Railway line by the footbridge. Then turn right again at
the bottom of the High St. into Western Road. Walk the full length of
Western Road, then cross over at the traffic lights into Tye Common Rd.
Blunts Wall Lane is a little way along on the right. Mayflower
taxis (01277 624000) and Swift Cabs (01277 757575) are located just
outside the station and can take you to the ground.
There are a few pubs on the walk from the station including a Weatherspoon pub called The Blue Boar on the High Street or if you like your ale you could take a small detour to The Billericay Brewing Company at 54c Chapel Street, CM12 9LS who brew and serve their own beer such as Billericay Dickie- well worth a visit.
