The new league season gets underway on Sunday with a change of name for champions Stanley FC.
They are now going under the name of Stanley Royal and will open their campaign against old foes South Moor Sports.
Last season's runners-up, Chester Garden Farm have quit the league though there will be one team extra this time around following the arrival of two former league members - Washington Oasis and Gateshead Black Bull.
And, both the newcomers find themselves away from home on the opening day of the season.
The Black Bull have a reasonably short journey to the Low Fell Jolly Miller while the Oasis have a home date with Felling Mulberry.
Pelton Fell Club, who promised so much last season before falling away have home advantage against Stanley RAFA with the Pelton Crown away to Stanley Masons Arms.
