It might seem as though they are pushing it a bit close to the wire, but the leagues above have to sort their fixtures in order down the football pyramid, and with teams groundsharing and unavailable due to cricket, it takes time to sort everyone out. Having checked through the website's news archives, the fixtures appeared on this date last year too.

The opening day fixtures for the EMCFL are as follows...

Saturday 3rd August (3.00pm)

Barrow T v Shirebrook T
Clifton AW v Gedling MW
Clipstone v W Bridgford
Dunkirk v Heanor T
Eastwood Comm v Graham St Prims
Kimberley v Sherwood Coll
