It's a brand new Non League Div One: Isthmian South East campaign and Lancing are impatient to get started here at Culver Road. Merstham are guesting and this should be a stirring season launch.

Merstham form and stats
The last season was not a pleasant experience for Merstham as they could not accumulate enough points to survive. After only 7 victories from 38 games, relegation was a fact. Merstham's manager are hoping to lead the team right back to Non League Div One: Isthmian South Central at the first attempt.
It's a day of discovery for Merstham as they finally learn what impact all the hours of pre-season training, along with the changes in personnel, have had on their performance in an official game. It's never easy knowing what to expect based on friendly games, of which Merstham have played three with the results W0-D0-L3 (win-draw-lost). In these games Merstham has scored {5 goals} and conceded 13 times.
