Fixture release: AFC Telford United begin Southern League campaign against Royston Town

Kevin Wilkin's men are preparing for life at step three of the non-league pyramid - following last season's relegation from the National League North.

The Hertfordshire club will travel to Shropshire for the season curtain raise on August 5 - ahead of a busy month of six fixtures for Wilkin's side.

Home clashes with West Midlands side Nuneaton and Halesowen Town are scheduled for August - with a trip to Stourbridge pencilled in for September 26, four days before a clash with ex-National League North side Kettering Town.

Games with Alvechurch and Leamington following in October - with Telford side to visit Halesowen on Boxing Day before starting 2024 with a home clash with Bromsgrove Sporting in January 1.

The season will conclude at the end of April ahead of the play-offs in early May - with Wilkin's side finishing with a clash against last season's runners up Coalville Town.
