Excitement is building among Kent’s top non-league football sides following the announcement of their 2020/21 season fixtures.

Dover Athletic, who have had money worries to contend with over the summer, will welcome former Football League side Notts County to Crabble for their first game of the season.

Bobby-Joe Taylor's free-kick is on its way into the net to put Dover ahead against Notts County last season. The two sides meet on October 3 this time around.

There were fears the club might not even be able to compete after suffering heavily during the Covid-19 shutdown.

National League sides kick their season off on Saturday, October 3.

Hessenthaler’s side host Dagenham on the Boxing Day schedule but will have a long journey north for their last game of the season, with a trip to Hartlepool United.

Bromley, who finished 13th, start with a trip to relegated Macclesfield Town. The Silkmen were relegated after a points deduction left them bottom of League 2, in place of Stevenage.

National League South sides start their season on Tuesday, October 6, as FA Cup second qualifying action takes place on the weekend of the 3rd for those teams at that level.

Dartford finished sixth last season and missed out on promotion through the end of season play-offs. They have a home start with Chelmsford City the visitors to Princes Park.
