Kennington will begin their assault on the Southern Counties East Division 1 title with six pre-season fixtures to prepare them for their 2020/21 campaign.

The Ashford-based outfit will face Kent County League sides Tenterden Town and Faversham Strike Force on August 8 and August 12 respectively.

Dan Scorer's side are then scheduled to play their first home match of the summer when they welcome SCEFL Premier Division team Tunbridge Wells to Homelands two days later, before they visit Deal on August 22.

Ton end their pre-season with games against a mixed Gillingham Under-18 and Under-23 side, managed by former Dover Athletic captain Craig Stone, and then with a trip to Welling Town in the final week of August.

All SCEFL divisions are currently due to start on Saturday, September 5, meaning fans, who could return to stadiums as early as October, will not be able to watch their sides’ early fixtures.

Kennington also face the prospect of playing their first-ever FA Cup match when football does resume.

The club could be entered into the competition’s extra preliminary round if they are successful with their application on August 3.
