To have two football league clubs bring sides to the Charles Ground is a real honour for the club and we look forward to both of those games. The games against Corinthian and Sevenoaks should provide us with real stern tests and ensure we are ready for the start of the season on Saturday 30th July. It would be great to see our usual excellent support at all of our home games’We look forward to welcoming you all to the Charles Ground from the start of July for what will hopefully be another successful season.
