Stockwood Park will begin their season at Brackley as fixtures are announced

Stockwood Park will kick off their Counties Two Midlands East (South) campaign at Brackley after the fixture list for the new campaign was announced last week.

Following that opening clash on Saturday, September 6, the club's first home game pits them against Rugby Lions on Saturday, September 13, as they have three of their first four contests on the road, going to Northampton Casuals and St Neots in October. Park will also face local rivals Leighton Buzzard again this term, heading to their Bedfordshire opponents on November 29, before welcoming them to London Road on March 21.

Announcing the matches, Stockwood wrote on their Instagram page: “We look forward to welcoming some familiar clubs again from last season, some we haven't played for a while, and others we have never played at all, and somewhat thankfully the mileage covered to support the Park should also be reduced this season.

“A particular highlight will be renewing our old, but friendly, rivalry with Bedfordshire compatriots Leighton Buzzard. It will be great to see our travelling support head over to Brackley for the opening game on 6th September and a huge crowd for the first home game of the season the week after."
