Just two days on from the encouraging 2-1 win at home to last season’s play-off finalists Corinthian-Casuals, Hastings will travel to Carshalton Athletic in another tough-looking Bostik League Division One South encounter.

Hastings will be buoyed by their weekend success, in which a brace of first half headers from Jack Dixon was enough to see off a Casuals side which pulled one back in the second period.

Carshalton, who finished just one point and one place behind Hastings last term, also began the new campaign with a victory, winning 1-0 away to league newcomers Ashford United. Kick-off tonight is 7.45pm.
