The first two months of the season could potentially be dominated with national cup competition fixtures, with six Saturdays across August and September assigned to the early rounds of the FA Cup and FA Vase.

Portchester will learn their opponents in both competitions when the draws are announced on July 8.

The first league PO Postcode derby is not scheduled to take place until October 15, with a trip to US Portsmouth. A midweek trip to Horndean quickly follows on October 25.

The festive period includes two huge PO Postcode derby clashes - a trip to Moneyfields on December 27 and a home game against Fareham Town on January 3.

The Royals face five local derbies in six matches across March and April, before the season’s current scheduled end at Bemerton Heath Harlequins on April 22.
