Supernova 1 open their South & East Promo campaign with the immediate pressure that comes from last season’s near-miss: a 2nd-place finish in a four-team division where the top two go up. Bearsted 1 arrive as an unknown quantity in this league, making Sunday’s first result an early reference point for both sides.

The Story So Far

This is the first league match of the season for both teams, played at Sacred Heart Catholic Secondary School on Sunday 8 November 2026 (13:30), in South & East Promo’s Promo tier.

Last season, Supernova 1 finished 2nd of 4 in this division, which was enough to land in the promotion places. Bearsted 1 did not play in South & East Promo last season, so this fixture also marks their first step into this particular four-team race.

What's At Stake

• A win for Supernova 1 would immediately align with the standard they set last season, putting early substance behind their aim of finishing in the top two again.
• A win for Bearsted 1 would be a fast way to establish themselves in a new division, showing they can take points straight away against a side that finished in the promotion places last year.
• With only four teams in the division and two promotion spots, the opening result carries extra weight: it shapes the early route to the top-two finish both sides are chasing.
