THE opening month of North West Counties Football League fixtures have been confirmed for Northwich Victoria, Winsford United and Barnton.

And a derby between Vics and Blues in the Premier Division will be a highlight in mid-August, while the pair will both face Avro in one of their opening two games.

Vics will start the campaign at home to Avro on Saturday, July 30, a side which finished one place below them in sixth last term, while their first trip will come three days later to Wythenshawe Town.

Litherland REMYCA, AFC Liverpool and Lower Breck will also be on The Trickies' radar during August.

Winsford will start their campaign away to Barnoldswick Town, who were four places behind Blues last season in 15th spot, while their first home game will be on Tuesday, August 2 against Avro.

Fixtures will also come against Prestwich Heys, Longridge Town and Vauxhall Motors that month.

Division One South side Barnton will host Stockport Town for openers on Saturday, July 30, and will be home again the following Wednesday against Brocton.

Further opponents for The Villagers in August will be Ashville, Cheadle Heath Nomads, Rocester and Cammell Laird 1907.
