Slough Town kicked off their 2025-26 campaign in the Enterprise National League South with a goalless draw away to Tonbridge Angels on Saturday.
The Rebels new signings Peter Ojemen, Adam Desbois, Kiki Oshilaja, Jaiden Drakes-Thomas, Reiss Greenidge, Jared Myers, Tyrique Clarke and Jordan Greenidge made their debuts.
While Josh Adepoju, Tarik Gidaree and Kit Elliott also enjoyed some game-time off the bench.
The team were off to a good start, with The Rebels stealing the ball on the edge of the box in the sixth minute.
Jordan Greenidge fed the ball to Myers in the box, whose shot hit the inside of the post.
In the eighth minute, Myers finds Jordan Greenidge at the near post, but Greenidge’s effort hits the other post.
Oshilaga’s header from Johnny Goddard’s freekick goes over the bar in the 14th minute, but the offside flag was up.
In the 38th minute, Jordan Greenidge and Myers combined for yet another attempt, but Myers effort was held by the Angels goalkeeper Jacob Adams.
The first half ended goalless for both sides.
Early in the second half, Goddard’s strike was blocked away as it went towards the right corner of the Angel’s goalkeeper Adams.
The Rebels kept the on pressure, producing corners and a near-miss from Drakes-Thomas who was close to connecting with a diving header.
Angels goalkeeper Adams later saved a low effort from Drakes-Thomas from just outside the area, denying Slough the chance to take the lead in the 69th minute.
With just minutes left, Gidaree found himself in a shooting position, but his effort was denied and was out for a corner.
