However, it did not take the Red Dragons long to get over us as they fixed up a trip to Solihull Moors, whose match against Dover Athletic was postponed due to COVID-19.
The cancellation follows the postponement of the Glovers’ last two pre-season friendlies against Southampton B last Tuesday and the match against AFC Bournemouth Under-23s which had been due to take place this weekend.
As it stands, we will kick-off our National League campaign with the home match against King’s Lynn Town on Saturday, August 28.
