MAIDSTONE United will start life in the Ryman League Premier Division with a home game against Sussex side Horsham on Saturday, August 18.

They have also been handed two Kent derbies in September, away at Ramsgate and home to Tonbridge.

Jim Ward's Ramsgate face a trip to old adversaries AFC Wimbledon, Margate are at home to Chelmsford City, while Folkestone Invicta meet Wealdstone at Cheriton Road.

Andy Hessenthaler's first game in charge at Dover in Division 1 South will be at Horsham YMCA, while Kent League champions

Whitstable begin their first season at home to fellow-promoted Eastbourne Town, and host the men from Crabble in one of the season's many Kent derbies on Bank Holiday Monday August 27.

Dartford's controversial switch to Ryman League North sees them start at home to former Southern League rivals Maldon Town, new Ashford Town boss Clive Walker sees his new charges begin at home against Kingstonian, Chatham go to Corinthian Casuals, Sittingbourne travel to Worthing, and Cray Wanderers are at home to Whyteleafe.
