Tonbridge Angels face a tough opening month to their Blue Square Bet South campaign but manager Tommy Warrilow isn’t fearing anyone.

The fixtures, released on Tuesday, have handed Angels an away start against Maidenhead followed by a midweek home clash with Sutton – the team who pipped them to the Ryman League Premier Division title last season.

Full-time club Eastleigh arrive at Longmead Stadium four days later and games against Kent rivals Welling and Dover follow before a visit from much-fancied Woking rounds off the opening month.

"The fixtures brought a smile to my face but I am not in awe or frightened of anyone," said Warrilow (pictured), who has guided the Angels to the highest level in the club’s history.

"We’ll go into all of the games positively and we’ll be looking forward to it but we won’t really know a great deal until we kick off. Everyone is buzzing after the fixtures came out."

Tonbridge open their pre-season campaign at home to League 1 Brentford on Saturday, July 16
