BETVICTOR ISTHMIAN LEAGUE OPENING FIXTURES

Here are the opening week's fixtures for the newly sponsored BetVictor Isthmian League as the Premier Division (Step 3) league gets underway on Saturday 10th August and the three Step 4 leagues kick off one week later on Saturday 17th August - some of the step 4 clubs will be in Emirates FA Cup action on the 10th August.

The sponsors make Hornchurch 7/2 favourites for the title followed by Margate at 10/1 and then a clutch of club's at 12/1 in Kingstonian, Haringey Borough, Folkestone Invicta and Bognor Regis Town. 

The Urchins who finished 15th last season have signed Rickie Hayles (from East Thurrock United), Arthur Lee (from Tonbridge Angels) and a trio of players from Enfield Town in Matt Johnson, Mickey Parcell and Joe Wright. I think they'll do okay this season and will be involved in the race for the play-offs but I wouldn't rate them 6.5 points above any other team in the title race. PLEASE ALWAYS REMEMBER TO GAMBLE RESPONSIBLY - Gamble Aware Link

TheColdEnd will be looking into the Premier Division in a little more detail in the coming weeks.
