Witton kick off the new season with a new management team, a new playing squad and in a new division when they travel to Newcastle Town on Saturday in a Northern Premier League West Division fixture.
Only midfielder Josh Paterson remains with the club from last season and manager Jon Macken has assembled a squad with fifteen new signings, a mix of youth and experience that has shown promising things during pre season.
Newcastle Town are managed by former Port Vale midfielder Robin Van der Laan and finishing sixteenth in the league last season losing ten games at home, so will want to improve on that this time around.
It will obviously take time for the Albion side to blend together but, they will be looking to make a positive start to the season in what could prove to be a tough encounter.
Kick off at Lyme Valley Park is 3pm.
