DORCHESTER Town will kick off their 2016-17 Evo-Stik Southern Premier Division campaign with a home encounter against Kettering Town, while Weymouth face a trip to Biggleswade Town, with both games to be played on Saturday, August 6.

The Magpies and Terras are scheduled to clash in league action at the Bob Lucas Stadium later in the month, with the first Ridgeway Derby confirmed for Monday, August 29 at the Bob Lucas Stadium.

That means that the Avenue will host this year’s festive fixture between the two sides as Mark Jermyn’s men take on Jason Matthews’ side on Boxing Day.

While the Terras start their campaign on the road in the league, they are scheduled to finish with a home fixture against Leamington on Saturday, April 22.

At the same time, the Magpies will bring the curtain down on their season at Stratford Town.
