Last seasons 1st XI cup winners kick off their season on the road and take on Old Blackburnians at the Memorial Ground. The first team gaffer is expecting big things this season so will be looking for a good start away from the Armitage Centre. The Old Mancs return to fortress Armitage a few days later for a midweek visit of Failsworth Dynamos.

The Reserves kick off their Division Two assault at home to Farnworth Town, who were so amazed at the facilities last season asked if they could play us again at the Armitage. After losing twice to Farnworth the Old Mancs will be looking to start the campaign as they did last season. Their midweek game sees them travel to Failsworth on a Tuesday night.

The Thirds have to wait a few weeks to kick off their Division Five campaign, they finally get going on the 31st August at home to Farnworth Town Reserves.

The Fours kick off in Division Six the same day, but they travel to Oldham Hulemians A.

Lets start this season with 4 wins and push for some more silverware the 1st XI cup looks lonely in Casa Molloy
