Witton begin life in the Evo-Stik Premier Division with a trip to Mickleover Sports, following their promotion campaign last season. The majority of last season’s squad have remained and new faces have arrived for the challenges that await but, the management team and the players, look forward to testing themselves in what is surely going to be a tough test but a challenge they will relish. Mickleover finished last season in 16th place in the division and will be hoping to improve on that this time around. The game is only Witton’s second ever visit to the Derbyshire club and the first for seven years. Their last visit being in 2010 where the Albion were narrowly beaten by the odd goal in three, Mickleover eventually going up as Champions at the end of that season. Sports have also added to the squad in Pre Season so it will be interesting to see how both teams knit together and results will be the ultimate test. Kick off at The Don Amott Arena is 3pm.
