More pre-season friendlies confirmed

Hinckley AFC can confirm four further pre-season friendlies in preparation for the 2025/26 season.

On top of the trip to Skegness Town announced last week, we have arranged another four matches with step four opponents visiting Kirkby Road, as well as away trips to a trio of Midland League Division One sides.

Ahead of the start of the season on the weekend of 26th July, the players will return to training in June before beginning match action away to Sutton United on Tuesday 1st July.

Later that week comes the first home friendly against step four outfit Coventry Sphinx on Friday 4th July, before a visit to Chelmsley Town on Monday 7th July.

Then comes the trip to Skegness on Saturday 12th July, and like last season, our final match before the start of the season will be the annual Simon Blyth Memorial Trophy trip to Heather St John’s. This will take place on Saturday 19th July.

We will post details of another friendly as and when it is confirmed, but for now the countdown can begin to 1st July!

Our full list of friendlies so far is:

  • Sutton United (a) – Tuesday 1st July
  • Coventry Sphinx (h) – Friday 4th July
  • Chelmsley Town (a) – Monday 7th July
  • Skegness Town (a) – Saturday 12th July
