DESPITE the setback of losing their manager, Petersfield Town face a busy start to their season.

The Rams start their Division 1 Central campaign in the Evo-Stik League Southern on the road at Chalfont St Peter this Saturday (3pm).

There will be a north Hampshire derby at Love Lane next Tuesday night when Farnborough will be the visitors (7.45pm).

Petersfield are expected to make a number of new signings to bolster the squad ahead of the weekend.

Temporary manager Andy Neal has moved quickly to bring Ryan Woodford back to Love Lane. The midfielder was with the club last season.
