Our newly re-formed reserves start off their 07/08 campaign with a tricky away fixture to fellow "new-kids-on-the-block" Kemsing Utd Reserves. Their 1st team were promoted to the Premiership last season so a tough game should be expected.
The following week they face a recently relegated Ide Hill Reserves at the Longmead Ground in what should prove to be 3 relatively easy points.
