It is easy to see why the picturesque medieval market town of Saffron Walden in northwest Essex with excellent transport links to London and Cambridge has become so popular.
Town s reserves got the pre-season fixtures under way with a 9-2 victory over Saffron Walden Town at the Essex side s Catons Way ground. The Blues used a large squad made-up of reserve and Academy players with only Richard Logan and Nabil Abidallah having played for the Town first team, although keeper James Pullen made senior appearances when on loan at Blackpool.
