New-boy David Fox open his U's account after a tough week at European training camp.

In-form Vernon smashes home a second-half winner to give U's the win.

Young U's youth product Anthony Wordsworth curls home a classy 82nd minute free-kick to earn late victory.

Thursday July 30th - Ebbsfleet 1-1 U's - Non-Leaguers Hold U's

Recent-signing Joel Thomas nets first U's goal but it is not enough to give his side a win.

Thanks. Yeah, some games we've really impressed in, others not so. Yep, really up for it, cant wait for the season to start! How's your pre-season gone? :D Up the U's!

We're unbeaten in 8, including wins at Palace and against Wigan so are strangely optimistic. It's a little...unnerving!

Good report, Steve. Thanks very much! Can't wait for Norwich away!!

Cool. Seems like you've had a good pre-season, Guru. But like you say, it doens't mean a lot - lets wait for the real stuff!
