What happened?
Kevin Wilkin managed Brackley Town between 2015 and 2022, where he had a successful seven-year stint. He will now face his former club in the season opener, with the team looking to get off to a strong start.
Why it matters for Brackley Town
The visitors are back in step two after just one season in the National League and find themselves in a transition period of sorts, in no small part brought about by former boss Gav Cowan's exit to Shrewsbury in January. With the potential for them to still be licking the wounds of last season, Wilkin spoke highly of the club while reiterating that the fondness will be set aside come 3pm tomorrow.
What comes next?
The visitors will be looking to get points on the board and Brackley will be no different. We're excited about the start of the season and Brackley will be no different. Hopefully we can have another successful and competitive season.
