Rebels to face former manager in pre-season

Manager Steve Bateman has today announced Slough Town's first pre-season match before the 2010-11 campaign against a familiar face.

On Tuesday, 13th July Slough will travel up the road to Summerleaze Village where they will face Holyport, managed by former Slough Town manager Derek Sweetman.

Sweetman, who spent just over a season managing the Rebels has recently taken over as manager at Holyport. More recently Sweetman has been assistant manager at Didcot Town in the Southern Premier division.

This will be Slough’s third pre-season match against Holyport.

Last time a Rebels side won 3-2 against ‘Port thanks to a hat-trick by skipper Paul Edgeworth.

The previous season the Rebels then managed by Darron Wilkinson won 2-0 with goals from Terry Davies and Andrew Deaner.

More friendly matches are set to be announced soon.
