The Robins have been promoted to step four of the non-league pyramid for the first time in their 123-year history and make their Isthmian south east division bow at home to Herne Bay on Saturday (Aug 9).
They staged the perfect warm up for it when they took on Rayners Lane in the extra preliminary round of the FA Cup last weekend and won 1-0.
Photographer Phil Westlake was there to capture the action but also to record how spick and span the ground is looking ahead of the debut Isthmian League season. See his pictures on this page and the ones linked.
