Isthmian League: Whitehawk FC vs Wingate & Finchley

We have a great local fixture coming up in the Isthmian League Premier Division. On Saturday, April 4, 2026, our local side, Whitehawk FC, is set to host Wingate & Finchley. This is a key match as the 2025-2026 season heads into its final weeks, where every point counts. Whitehawk is known as Brighton's main non-professional club, competing in the Isthmian Premier Division, and these late-season league games always bring a good atmosphere to the ground as teams fight for position.

The game will take place at Whitehawk's home turf, The Enclosed Ground, which you might also hear called The McLaren Enclosed Ground or TerraPura Ground. It’s located in East Brighton Park, specifically at Wilson Avenue, Brighton BN2 5TS. While the exact kick-off time for April 4th hasn't been officially confirmed yet, matches at this level and venue typically start at 3:00 PM, so planning for an afternoon kick-off is sensible. Access requires a ticket, and while prices can change depending on the season, historical admission details suggest adults might pay between £10 and £13, with concessions (OAPs/Students) ranging from £5 to £8. It's worth noting that generally, children under 10 or 13 often get in free when accompanied by a paying adult.

Looking at the league table, this match has real implications for both teams as they navigate the lower half of the Isthmian Premier Division. Based on the standings from late January 2026, Whitehawk sits in 14th place with 34 points from 24 games, while Wingate & Finchley is a few spots lower in 18th with 27 points from 25 games. Whitehawk recently secured a 1-0 victory against Wingate away from home, so the visitors will certainly be looking to level the score on the south coast. This fixture is also the start of a busy weekend for the Hawks; they face a quick turnaround, playing Lewes FC just two days later on Monday, April 6th, also scheduled for 3:00 PM. This makes securing points against Wingate crucial for momentum before that local derby.
