Mark Nelson, coach of the NL2 champions, said: “The programme is new and refreshing after playing more or less the same opposition for the past six or seven years.
“There are teams we have never played before, like Jersey and Cinderford, old rivals like Coventry and Rosslyn Park, and northern teams we have not met in a while, such as Wharfedale and Sedgley Park.”

That has been overcome by switching the dates for the home and away matches against Cinderford and Coventry.
