Leyton Orient add fifth friendly fixture to summer schedule

Leyton Orient have confirmed they will play National League South outfit Bishop’s Stortford on August 1 for a 3pm kick-off.

The news comes following an announcement by the non league side in June that they would play the O’s on July 25.

That appeared to irk the League Two club especially considering Stortford also revealed Orient’s plans to go on a training camp to Europe.

But all is well now and Ian Hendon will take his players to the ProKit UK Stadium at the start of August.

This fixture is the fifth pre-season match Hendon and Orient have arranged with matches against Braintree Town (July 10), Huddersfield Town (July 18), Colchester United (July 25) and Woking (July 28) already confirmed.
