Following last weekend's postponement, we finally get 2026 up and running as we make the short trip to face SOUL Tower Hamlets, a side who come into the clash sitting second in the Essex Senior League table and could move top with a victory, dependent on results elsewhere.

For The Woods, it will be the first game since 2021 where Shane Baptsite is not in charge, with Rob Gammons leading the squad for the first time following his appointment as First Team Manager on Monday evening.

Tickets will be available upon arrival, and are also available online, costing £9 for adults, £7 for concessions and £3 for under 16s, with those aged under 12 entering for free, for what is set to be an enthralling match - the two sides played out a 7-goal thriller at Ashton's in the reverse fixture in December.
