In Paul Doswell’s first game in charge in August 2019, the teams drew 1-1 at Westleigh Park on the opening day of the campaign.

Doswell’s new-look squad - featuring 12 new signings - will host the Wings on Saturday, August 15 in the first set of sixth tier fixtures since the 2020/21 campaign was abruptly ended in mid-February.

That opening day game against Welling is one of only three NLS home games for the Hawks that clash with Pompey home matches. The others are on October 9 and January 15.

There are two mouth-watering games with Dorking Wanderers over the festive and new year period.

Wanderers have a host of former Hawks in their ranks with Josh Taylor this summer added to a squad already containing Ed Harris, Wes Fogden, Jason Prior and Alfie Rutherford.

Hawks travel to Dorking on Boxing Day before the return game at Westleigh Park on January 2.

Due to the fact there are only 21 teams in the NLS in 2021/22, Hawks have two free Saturdays - August 28 and January 8.
