Below is the fixture list for the 2004 season, with home matches displayed in Green, and away matches displayed in Blue. Given the success of the 2003 season experiment of co-ordinating the Venturers match schedule with that of the Civil Service Team who also play at the Sulis Ground, it was decided that this arrangement would continue for the 2004 season. All matches involving the Civil Service in some capacity have been marked in Red.

For the first game of the 2004 season, Captain Dutton wrote brief player profiles for the team which can be accessed here.
