Premier news

The Pitching In Isthmian League fixtures have just been released. Here are some of the highlights.

It's that time again- our Pitching In Isthmian League fixtures for 2022-23 have just been released. Let's start with some highlights.

The opening day in the Pitching In Isthmian Premier sees a battle of the promoted sides, as Hastings United welcome Aveley. The last time the two met was in the FA Trophy in December 2020, the Millers winning one-nil. Kingstonian get the chance of a Jolly Boys Outing to Margate, and our other promoted side, Herne Bay, welcome Potters Bar Town to the seaside. Hornchurch also have a trip to the coast, and will hope to start the season well as they travel to Bognor Regis Town.

Pitching In Isthmian North also has a battle of two promoted sides, as Gorleston welcome New Salamis to Lowestoft Town, where they will be groundsharing with the Trawlerboys. We have a battle between the side who were a shootout away from promotion, Brentwood Town, and Felixstowe & Walton United, who were the surprise package last season and will be hoping to push on from that to challenge for promotion once more.

The match of the day in Pitching In Isthmian South Central looks to be Basingstoke Town v Bedfont Sports, both of whom will be looking for automatic promotion, whilst Thatcham Town will be flying out for some Channel Island sunshine. Leatherhead are bound to be amongst the favourites after they came so close to Premier survival, and they host Westfield, whilst Merstham start their climb back to the top flight by welcoming newly promoted Southall.

Heading to the Pitching In South East, Ramsgate and Cray Valley PM will both be highly fancied, and meet on the opening day at the seaside. Ashford United head to Sussex, to take on Burgess Hill Town.

Here's the opening day.
