Corinthian FC (A) - 25th July 2023

By Josh Cole

The ‘Gate face a trip to Longfield on Tuesday night as we take on Corinthian FC at The Gay Dawn Farm Stadium for our sixth pre-season match in preparation for the 2023/24 season.

Margate fell to a 2-1 home defeat to Sittingbourne in the rain at Hartsdown Park. The ‘Gate have won two, lost two and drawn one so far this pre-season, however with the start of the Isthmian League approaching, manager Reece Prestedge will be looking for performances and results from his side with the opener against Whitehawk less than three weeks away.

After Saturday’s defeat, Prestedge said the game was “probably” the best test his side could have faced after last Tuesday night’s win over Dartford.

Corinthian have played four pre-season games so far with results including a 3-1 loss to Crowborough Athletic, a 3-0 loss to FC Elmstead, and a loss to Cray Valley PM by a single goal. Tuesday’s host will play in the SCEFL Premier Division after being relegated in 20th place last year from the Isthmian South-East Division.
