First Team's Tough Start

First Team's Tough Start

The first team has been handed a challenging start to the 2026/27 campaign with games against three of last season’s top six clubs in the first month. They kick-off against Old Albanian at The Marine Travel Ground, on September 5th, then travel to Dorking the following week. A home clash with a resurgent Esher side is scheduled for September 19th, before the month ends with a trip to Oundle, who were runners up in National2 East last time round. The club’s strong pre-season programme should see them well prepared, with home games against National One club Tonbridge Juddians, on August 14th, and another Friday night clash on August 27th when Blackheath, newly promoted to the Championship, are the visitors. Sep 5: Old Albanian (H) 12: Dorking (A) 19: Esher (H) 26: Oundle (A)
