The new Cumberland County League season will start on Saturday, August 15.
Carlisle Athletic, who have just entered the league, will kick off with a home game against newly relegated Cleator Moor reserves.
They are in Division One after being elected to the league at last month’s annual meeting.
Carlisle City Development are now Carlisle City reserves and look to be stronger than they were through the addition of some promising Under-20s who have been training with the first team.
Keswick were the other relegated side from last season and they open with a home game against Bransty Rangers.
There’s also a mid-week round of matches on the Wednesday when new boys Carlisle Athletic play their first away game when they visit Silloth.
The club’s manager Glen Scott said: “The friendless have gone well and I’ve learned a fair but about the team. We have 24 players signed so plenty of competition for places.
“We won our first friendly 8-0, lost narrowly in the next two and drew our last one. We have three more lined up before the first league game so should be well prepared.
“We are looking forward to the first game although it will be tough against a side who were in the Premier Division last season.”
As far as the Premier Division is concerned the new champions Unisun Athletic will start in the West of the county against Workington Juniors.
The team they replaced as champions, Maryport Athletic, also open with a home game as they entertain Cockermouth.
Last season’s Division One champions Dearham United will start in the top flight at Aspatria while runners-up Northbank have a home game against Mirehouse.
