Sun Sports will renew acquaintances with rivals Kings Langley in pre-season as they prepare for another assault on the Spartan South Midlands Premier Division.

The two sides both led the league last season but Kings ultimately triumphed to clinch back-to-back promotions and a place in the Southern League to boot.

Paul Hobbs’ men will kick-off their own pre-season schedule with a visit from Paul Hughes and Ritchie Hanlon’s side on Tuesday, July 7 at Bellmount Wood Avenue.

Four days later a St Albans City Under-23 side will visit before Sun host Cheshunt on Tuesday, July 14. A visit from Harpenden follows on July 18 and a week later pre-season concludes with a trip to Bovingdon.

Sun’s first competitive fixture will be at home to Hadley in the Herts Charity Shield first round on Saturday, August 1, before the new South Midlands top-flight league campaign kicks off the following weekend.

Oxhey Jets will release their own pre-season schedule once it is finalised.
