Home comforts for Boro and Fleet in season openers
By Chris Harris15/ 7/2008
The fixtures are out and both Farnborough and Fleet Town will start their bids for glory with winnable home matches.
Francis Vines’ Boro side kick off their BGB Southern Premier campaign against Rugby Town at Cherrywood Road on August 16 as they bid for back-to-back promotions.
They then face trips to Brackley Town and Tiveton Town as their season gets into full swing.
Boro’s Christmas fixtures see them travel to Hemel Hempstead Town on December 27 before a New Year’s Day showdown with potential title rivals Bashley at Cherrywood Road.
Should the season go down to the wire, then Vines’ men will have to beat Stourbridge away from home on the final day of the campaign.
Andy Sinton’s Fleet side was moved back into the Ryman Division One South this summer and, after successive play-off defeats in the last two years, will be looking to go one better this time around.
Their season kicks off with Corinthian Casuals the visitors to Calthorpe Park on August 16 before they travel to Kingstonian and Crowborough Athletic.
Fleet fans can look forward to a Christmas derby with local rivals Godalming Town at home on December 27, with the return game at Wey Court on April 13.
Sinton’s men finish the campaign with a trip to Dulwich Hamlet on April 25, hopefully with promotion already assured.
