New Lodge played host to Billericay's final pre season match at home to Conference South Bishops Stortford. The first fifteen minutes were pretty much quiet on the chances front but then Stortford won a penalty on 16 minutes after Kyle Asante was brought down in the box. Reece Prestedge took the penalty and after this was saved by home stopper Andy Young the rebound fell to Kyle Asante who smashed home via Young's leg for a 1-0 lead. On 23 minutes it was 2-0 when after a goalmouth scramble Reece Prestedge smacked home the loose ball from inside the six yard box. Billericay had a chance when Glenn Poole headed a cross against the bar and that was as good as it got for the home side as on 39 minutes controversy as a 50/50 ariel tussle in the box resulted in the referee pointing to the spot to the dismay of the home side. Prestedge made no mistake with this spot kick and duly made it 3-0. Billericay came out in the second half and created two really good chances, Glenn Poole spurning one of them and the other falling to David Collis but both were hit over the bar when it would have been easier to score. Stortford wrapped up the scoring on 80 minutes when Kyle Vassell went clean through and slotted past Young to make it a emphatic scoreline of 4-0. So the blues were well beaten at home by a decent Stortford side.
