BASINGSTOKE Town will take on Ebbsfleet United in the first league fixture of the new season.

After the away trip to Kent on Saturday, August 8, the Dragons play two fixtures at home, against Bath City and Bishops Stortford.

Other notable fixtures announced today include the visit of Whitehawk, who defeated Town in last season’s Conference South playoff semi-final, on Tuesday, October 27, Sutton United away on Boxing Day and Chelmsford City away on Saturday, April 30, the final game of the regular season.

Jason Bristow’s men have a local derby to look forward to in the Hampshire Senior Cup second round on Tuesday, September 15, when they face Farnborough.

Six friendlies have already been announced, against AFC Wimbledon, Reading, Fleet Town, Aldershot Town, Wycombe Wanderers and Leatherhead.
