Among the Fleet players invited to appear are members of their Ryman Premier winning side including Francis Duku, and Matt Lee plus Mark Bentley and the Fleet’s all time leading scorer Steve Portway.

Meanwhile, Gravesend & Northfleet’s reserves take on their Tonbridge Angels counterparts in the Kent Intermediate Cup Final on Thursday night. The match, at Stonebridge Road, kick’s off at 7:45pm.
