First Team Pre-Season Friendlies

Holwell are pleased to announce that four pre-season friendlies have been confirmed.

Saturday 21st July away to Harrowby United of the Central Midlands Football League.

Tuesday 24th July Home 7.45pm Kick Off AFC Rushden & Diamonds of the United Counties League Div 1

Saturday 28th July Home 3pm Kick Off Southwell City FC of the Central Midlands League

Tuesday 31st July Home 7.45pm kick off Newark Town of the Central Midlands League.

Kick Off Times correct today but check Holwell's website to confirm prior to the match.


No doubt Holwell's local support will be looking forward to the attractive pre-season match at home to newly elected AFC Rushden & Diamonds FC as that club begins its re-bulding after the fall from grace of Rushden & Diamonds FC in 2010. The end of the 2010/11 football season saw the sudden and cruel demise of Rushden & Diamonds football club, after nineteen years of numerous highs and lows Rushden & Diamonds were expelled from the Football Conference and subsequently liquidated.

After re-establishing the new set up, a senior side has been registered to play in the United Counties Football League Div 1 for the 2012–13 season, with a very loyal support and this one of their first matches as a newly formed FA Level 6 Club, AFC Rushden & Diamonds are sure to bring with them upwards of 100 supporters to Welby Road as they pit their new squad against a more experienced Holwell side from the EMCL Premier Division.
