FIXTURES: Brackley to host new boys on opening day

The first day of the season will be on Saturday, August 6 and that game at St James Park will be followed by successive away matches at Chester on August 13 and King’s Lynn Town, who were relegated from the National League last season, on Tuesday, August 16.

Kevin Wilkin’s team host Farsley Celtic on August 20 while the bank holiday weekend sees the Saints head to Gloucester City on August 27 before hosting Kidderminster Harriers on Bank Holiday Monday.

Brackley, who finished as runners-up before losing out to York City in the play-offs last season, will have two mouth-watering derbies with newly-promoted Banbury United over Christmas.

The Saints will take on the Puritans at St James Park on Boxing Day before making the short return trip on New Year’s Day.

The Easter weekend sees Brackley hosting AFC Telford United on Good Friday, April 7 before heading to Hereford on Easter Monday while the season will be rounded off with a home game against Alfreton Town on Saturday, April 29.
