Diamonds handed a home start at higher level

Andy Peaks’ team, who gained promotion last season, will start the campaign with home clash against Redditch United before they travel to Biggleswade Town and Stourbridge for back-to-back away games.

Their big local derbies with Kettering Town will be at Latimer Park on New Year’s Day and Hayden Road on Easter Monday, which will be Diamonds’ final home game of the season.

Diamonds will host St Neots Town on Boxing Day while their season will end with a trip to Tamworth on Saturday, April 27.
