The Stones will begin the new campaign with a trip to Sheppey United on Monday 17 August, before returning to the Gallagher Stadium for their first home fixture against Sheppey Sports on Tuesday 8 September. If we can do that while competing at the top end of the league, then that’s a successful season.” Assistant manager Alex Flisher is equally excited to see the squad begin its competitive campaign. The boys have applied themselves brilliantly throughout pre-season and there’s an energy around the group. There’s plenty of talent in this squad and we’re all looking forward to seeing how far they can develop over the course of the season.”
