Salisbury FC announce pre-season schedule to warm up for new season

Friday, 16 May 2025 05:55

Salisbury FC have announced their pre-season friendlies schedule ahead of their second season in the National League South.

Salisbury managed to retain their spot in the second tier of non-league football in England after a nail-biting end to the last campaign. A draw away at Welling on the season's final day was enough to see them stay up by just one point.

Preparation work at the Ray Mac is well underway as the management team go about building a squad for the new season and confirming the players they wish to keep from last season.

Six games are lined up to help prepare Brian Dutton’s side for next season, which kicks off on Saturday, August 9th.

There are a couple of really local games, with the Whites facing up against both Downton and Laverstock and Ford.

Meanwhile, there are two home games, with National League side Eastleigh travelling to the Ray Mac before the visit of Southern League Premier South play-off runners-up, Dorchester Town.

Pre-season is wrapped up with a trip to play Poole Town at the start of August.
