Rugby Town's new adventure in the Northern Premier League starts tomorrow with a trip to Loughborough Dynamo.

After 32 consecutive seasons in the Southern League, Rugby have been relocated up north and their first test is a trip to Leicestershire.

With new manager Gary Mills set to take charge of his first ever game with a new-look squad in a new league, Valley's fans will not be sure what to expect after successive second place finishes in 2013 and 2014 were followed up with a disappointing sixth place finish last season.

Valley had a tough pre-season schedule with defeats coming in all four home games against higher league oppoistion although most of the performances were encouraging.
