The Swans face their first away trip of pre-season as they travel to newly promoted National League South side Horsham on Friday evening.

Billy Rowley’s side opened their pre-season campaign with a 0-0 draw with Merstham at the Xcel Sports Hub last Saturday. The stalemate saw new signings make their debuts while trialists were also given the chance to impress.

Following a successful season in which they achieved promotion to the National League South and won the Sussex Senior Cup, Horsham also recently started their preparations for the new campaign, suffering a 2-1 defeat at home to Chichester City.

With a very tough test ahead, Swans manager Billy Rowley will be hoping his side can pick up their first victory of pre-season against challenging opposition.

Head-to-head

Walton & Hersham share history with Horsham, with the two sides encountering one another 33 times since the 1968/69 season. Their latest set of meetings came during the 2014/15 Isthmian League Division One South campaign. The Swans were victorious 3-0 in their home tie, but were held to a 1-1 draw in their trip to the Hornets.
