BILLERICAY Town will take on Championship side Millwall to round off a hectic pre-season schedule.

Manager Craig Edwards will also see his young squad play friendlies against football league teams Southend United and Dagenham & Redbridge, Conference Premier team Eastleigh, Conference South’s Hemel Hempstead Town, Ryman South side Guernsey and Eastern Counties team Hamstead Town.

Billericay will begin their pre-season with a trip to Halstead Town on Saturday, July 12.
