First team travel to Formby while seconds host Northern in May.

With Christmas just 19 days away, the Liverpool Comp have given their clubs an early fixtures present for the 2018 season.

The first round draws for the Ray Digman Knockout Trophy AND the Chester Cup were published on the Comp's website today with our 1st and 2nd XI both being given Premier League ties.

In the Ray Digman draw, Danny Beaver's first team travel to Cricket Path to play Formby, who finished below us in the Premier League table in 2017.

A win could see the 1s travel to either Northern or Lytham in Round 2.

Meanwhile, the Chester Cup draw sees Matty Hughes's second team have home advantage against 2017 finalists Northern. Given that they knocked us in the semi-finals last year, revenge will definitely be on the cards!

Should the 2s progress, then we will be away to either Orrell Red Triangle or Formby in Round 2.

Instead of taking place on a Sunday in June like last year, both Round 1 ties will be played on Saturday 12th May.

There is no official word on the release of the league fixtures which are likely to be published either later this month or in January.
