Stevenage travel to Essex on Wednesday night to face Chelmsford City in their first pre-season game of the new campaign, a year after beating Mark Stimson's Gillingham at Priestfield. It will be a good test for the players to face a team who weren't far away from winning promotion to the Blue Square Premier last time around and of course it's the first chance for the Boro fans making the trip to see the new summer signings in action in a Boro shirt.

Cambridge City denied Boro their 3rd straight pre-season victory with a 1-1 draw at Milton Road. After an impressive win over Brighton & Hove Albion on Saturday, Stevenage were held to a battling draw by the Southern League side. Boro boss Graham Westley opted to start with a weakened 11, with the likes of Ashley Bayes, Eddie Odhiambo and Mark Albrighton playing the full 90 minutes, while reserve players Jerome Anderson and Chris Doyle made appearances too.

Chris Nee, Gary Andrews and Graham Sibley talk about the FA Cup, Premier League, Serie A, Major League Soccer and Emmanuel Adebayor, and slag off Canvey Island. A bit. http://www.csrnusa.com/csrnplayer.html
