With all the Olympic excitement sweeping the country and especially London it may have escaped people that competitive football returns this Saturday as several league season's kick off in what will hopefully be summer sunshine. The Combined Counties, Eastern Counties, Essex Senior and Kent League all start tomorrow.
ESSEX SENIOR LEAGUE

Barkingside v Takeley
Basildon United v Clapton
Enfied 1893 v Burnham Ramblers
Great Wakering Rovers v Stansted
Hullbridge Sports v Haringey and Waltham Development
Sawbridgeworth Town v London Bari
In the ESL Great Wakering Rovers should start with a win over 2011 Champions Stansted along with a interesting game between Enfield 1893 and Burnham Ramblers whom are both expected to do well this season. Takeley, another side that people have predicted will be right up the top of the table, visit Barkingside. The result new side London Bari get at Sawbridgeworth Town may be a pointer as to how well the East Londoners do throughout the season.
KENT HURLIMANN LEAGUE
Corinthian v Lordswood
Deal Town v Holmesdale
Erith Town v Sevenoaks Town
Greenwich Borough v Erith Town
Rochester United v Erith and Belvedere
Tunbridge Wells v Fisher
VCD Athletic v Beckenham Town
Whyteleafe v Canterbury City
In the Kent League relegated Whyteleafe welcome Canterbury City and the other new club Rochester United welcome Erith and Belvedere to their sports ground in Strood.
