AFC Telford fixtures 2022/23 - Bucks host Chorley in opener

AFC Telford United will begin the new National League North season at the New Bucks Head against Chorley.

Published

Paul Carden's men – hoping to push on in 2022/23 after flirting with relegation last term – will host the Magpies on Saturday, August 6.

With the division up to 24 teams this time around, the Bucks will end the opening month by hosting one of the newcomers in Buxton.

A difficult-looking September will see them face three of the sides who reached last campaign's play-offs in AFC Fylde, Brackley Town and Boston United.

October takes in trips to newly-promoted Peterborough Sports and Scarborough Athletic while a home clash with Hereford comes in November.

The Boxing Day and New Year's Day double-header will see Telford take on Chester.

A trip to King's Lynn Town – relegated from the National League – comes later in January while February will see them play three games on home soil, against Fylde, Leamington and Blyth Spartans.

March and April both consist of six games, with the Bucks hoping they will not have to enter that period needing results to survive, especially given four teams will be relegated. The season is set to end at Boston United.
