With the League not having to wait for fixtures from leagues above to sort their fixtures (because of ground sharing issues), they can knuckle down and get the system up and running.

The opening day fixture for Teversal FC is a short trip to Nottingham to face Gedling Miners Welfare, a team that (I think) we haven't faced since the old Central Midlands League days of over a decade ago.

The opening day fixtures are...

Saturday 29th July 2017 : KO at 3.00pm
East Midlands Counties League : Premier Division

Arnold Town v West Bridgford
Ashby Ivanhoe v Anstey Nomads
Aylestone Park v Dunkirk FC
Birstall United v Clifton All Whites
Blaby & Whetstone Athletic v Barrow Town
Borrowash Victoria v Holbrook Sports
Gedling Miners Welfare v Teversal FC
Graham Street Prims v Selston FC
Kimberley Miners Welfare v Belper United
Radford FC v Holwell Sports
Stapenhill FC v Radcliffe Olympic

The only other fixture released at the moment are matches for August Bank Holiday (Mon 28 Aug) and Easter Monday (Mon 02 Apr), which gives us our localest of derbies when we face Selston FC.

Mon 28 Aug : Teversal FC v Selston FC (3.00pm)
Mon 02 Apr : Selston FC v Teversal FC (3.00pm)

We'll keep you updated with the remaining fixtures as they become available.
