Match Preview:
The Millers travel to Whitstable who since our last visit have a new 3G pitch installed. They of course were FA Vase winners at Wembley in season 2024/25 although narrowly missed out on promotion, finishing third but losing in the play off semi final. However last season they finished champions of the SECFL Premier returning to the Isthmian South East after an absence of four years.

The Oystermen currently sit in 20th place picking up 3 points from their opening four games, a 3-1 home win against Deal Town. They have suffered defeats at Peacehaven & Telscombe 0-4 and at home to Sittingbourne 1-2 and Margate 0-3. They won their first FA Cup tie but went out at Hanworth Villa in the next round. Last Saturday they exited the FA Trophy losing 6-5 on penalties after it finished goal less in normal time.

Two Millers from last season joined Whitstable Town for this season, Kenny Aileru who has made seven appearances to date, scoring once and last season's captain Tom Beere. Unfortunately Tom suffered a serious knee injury in their opening FA Cup game and has not featured since.

The Millers are still looking for their first win of the season and currently sit in 15th place on 4 points from their opening six games which have included 4 draws and 2 defeats including last Saturday 4-1 at home to Broadbridge Heath. Kevin Lisbie and his team will be looking for some bouncebackability on Saturday.
