Parkway Fixture List 2021/22
A new era begins…
The Southern League fixture list has been released ahead of the 2021/22 campaign and Parkway’s first foray into Step 4 football.
Earlier in the week, Parkway found out that Highworth Town would be the first opponents in the FA Trophy as Parkway make the trip to the Elms Recreation Ground on August 9th. The Yellows will also be in cup action mid-August as the FA Cup qualifying rounds begin. Parkway will travel to either Mousehole or Helston Athletic for the preliminary fixture with the fixture scheduled for August 21st.
So, what about the Southern League? Parkway will begin their step 4 campaign with a trip to the Testwood Stadium to face A.F.C Totton on August 14th. Three days later, The Yellows begin their home league campaign as Frome Town make the trip to Plymouth.
The Western League gave us Devon derbies including Buckland Athletic, Exmouth and Tavistock. Moving up a division will see rivalries renewed with Barnstaple, Bideford, and Willand Rovers.
Willand Rovers enjoyed Western League success by lifting the 2018/19 league title, pipping Parkway to the post by two points and the last time the two sides met, Mikey Williams nabbed the winner as Parkway lifted the Les Phillips Cup in 2019. Willand manager Russell Jee and Parkway boss Lee Hobbs will again go up against each other in league action and Bolitho Park will play host to Rovers on August 30th. Boxing day will see Silver Street host the Christmas Devon Derby fixture.
Our last meeting with Barnstaple would be at Coach Road as Parkway prevailed in the final of the Devon St Luke’s Bowl (County Cup) at the end of the 2017/18 season. Parkway play host to Barnstable on January 1st. The reverse fixture at Mill Road will take place on the penultimate day of the season (April 18th)
Bideford travelled to Bolitho Park for our last Devon derby encounter in a Devon St. Luke’s Bowl during the 2018/19 season. Bolitho witnessed a cup classic as Aaron Bentley grabbed a late winner as the fixture ended 4-3. The Robins boss Sean Joyce will again be at the helm for Bideford and will bring his players to Bolitho Park on September 14th. Lee Hobbs and the squad will travel to The Sports ground on January 8th.
