AVELEY managed to hold former boss Rod Stringer’s side to a goalless draw in another solid display from the Millers.
Included in the Iron squad were former Aveley players Michael Alaile, Ryan Doyle, Sam Holloway, Martin Tuohy and Sean Francis but it is yet to be seen whether any of them will make the grade.
Braintree hit the bar early on before Ryan Edgar went close for the hosts just before the break.
In a game bereft of many chances, sub David Knight had the best opportunity for the Millers as his acrobatic kick was well saved.
Manager Alan Kimble used 19 players as he tries to bring his squad together and the side produced yet another solid defensive display.
Team: Matt Bennett, Scott Pethers, Andy Howells, Billy Crowther, Marc Gobel, Darren Quinton, Liam Coleman, Ash Hawkins, Luke Coleman, Michael Toner, Billy Hunt, Danny Slatter, David Knight, Tony Russell, Jack Cawley, Steve Springett, Clydie Roberts, Alfie Wren.
