Yellows Look to Bright Start
Parkway v Basingstoke Town | Match PreviewAs the 2024/25 Southern Premier South League season kicks off, Parkway are set to host Basingstoke Town at Bolitho Park this Saturday. It’s a fresh start for the Yellows, who are entering their third season in the division.
Last Season’s Nail-Biter:
Parkway’s previous campaign was a rollercoaster ride, culminating in a dramatic final-day escape from relegation. A 1-1 draw against Beaconsfield Town proved enough to keep them up, much to the relief of the travelling yellow army.
New Faces at the Helm:
The off-season has seen significant changes at Parkway. New manager Chris McPhee has taken over, joined by assistant manager and former player Lee Peacock. They’ve been busy reshaping the squad after some key departures, bringing in fresh talent and utilising the loan market effectively.
The Opposition:
Basingstoke Town, under manager Dan Brownlie, will be looking to improve on last season’s 8th place finish. They’ve had a solid pre-season, recently drawing 2-2 with Flackwell Heath.
Head-to-Head:
Last season’s encounters saw a 1-1 draw at Bolitho Park and a 1-0 win for Basingstoke at home.
