Altrincham are set kick off their National League North campaign this Saturday for a 3pm kick off. After a one-year hiatus from the division, Alty will host to Leamington, who will travel up the M6 to kick off the new campaign at the J. Davidson Stadium.

With only James Poole and Shaun Densmore expected to miss out, Phil Parkinson still has plenty of options to choose from with his toughest selections coming in central defence and central midfield.

The Robins will look to carry on where they left off last season having scored the most goals while conceding the fewest amount in the Evo-Stik Northern Premier League last season. Meanwhile, Leamington weren’t particularly leaky either in the National League North in 2017-18 (65 goals allowed, 11th best); however their lack of production in front of goal (51 goals, 4th fewest) saw them finish 19th in the table, narrowly avoiding relegation.

They have however addressed that by signing talented striker Matt Stenson from Barwell, and a certain Anthony Dwyer who had a brief stint with Alty in pre-season before deciding to remain closer to home for personal reasons. Stenson meanwhile was a standout performer for Barwell and has scored goals freely in pre-season. The duo will offer Leamington much more threat in attacking areas this season and Alty’s defence will be kept on their toes.

Tickets for the match will be as follows:

Adults £13

Concessions (65+, Students) £10

Juniors (12-16) £5

Under 12s £1

Phil and the team look forward to seeing as many of you there as possible to get behind the boys as they aim to make a winning start to the new season.

There will be live text coverage of the game on the Matchcentre, and there will be live updates on our twitter account and we look forward to providing all the latest from The J.Davidson Stadium.
