RYLANDS will start their first ever North West Counties League Premier Division season with a home game.

Their hunt for back-to-back promotions starts on Saturday, August 3, when they welcome Charnock Richard to Gorsey Lane.

They will also finish the campaign at home, with Winsford United the visitors on Saturday, April 25.

Blues won the First Division South title at a canter last season and there are three automatic promotion places up for grabs during the coming campaign.

They will also enter the FA Cup for the first time ever this season and have been drawn away to Runcorn Town in the extra preliminary round.
