Pre-season gallery: Chichester City edge past Baffins Milton Rovers

A penalty was enough to give Miles Rutherford’s team the victory, following up their 7-0 win at home to Christchurch last week which came off the back of a 2-0 defeat at home to Moneyfields in their opening game.

Rutherford has stressed that results don’t matter in pre-season and he is simply pleased to get his squad working their way towards full fitness for their first season in the Southern League Premier South.

City’s 2026-27 fixtures for their new division have been confirmed and they have home matches to start and finish.
