League champions face Willie Hall Cup winners on Newark Alliance opening day

Last season's champions Farndon United will face Willie Hall Cup holders Wheatsheaf United on the opening day of the Newark Alliance.

The league returns following a four month break over the summer, with the league looking in a healthier state than when it finished last time around.

Three teams dropped out early last season, reducing the numbers in the Premier Division to seven last season, causing a change in structure with teams playing each other three times.

However four teams have been promoted to the top division, bringing the number to ten overall following the loss of FC13.

Other notable opening day fixtures see RHP Social face top division new boys Holy Trinity while 3BFC, formerly Navigation, travel to Rutland Arms Rovers.

First Division champions RHP Social Reserves host Wheatsheaf United Reserves in the division's second tier.

An away trip awaits last year's Second Division winners Newark Flowserve Reserves travel to Collingham in their opening fixture.

Newly formed Newark Town return to the league with a home fixture against Collingham Reserves in the Second Division.

Fellow new boys Muskham host RHP Social A, Walesby face Laxton Athletic and AFC Farnsfield play Newark Cavaliers.
