The fixtures are out for Budleigh Salterton in the Devon Football League and the Robins will open with difficult away games in North Devon.
First up for the Robins will be a trip to play Barnstaple Town Reserves on August 13 and then it is Fremington away the following weekend – best to get these long trips out of the way while the sun is shining.
The first home game for Budleigh will be a midweek meeting with Thorverton, another new club to the division, on August 24, and then Alphington make the short journey three days later.
Budleigh are back on the road to Appledore on September 10 and this is followed by two intriguing local derbies, at home to Beer Albion on September 17 and then away at Ottery St Mary on September 24.
The Robins are ready and football is ready for another nine months of drama.
