Here are the opening week's fixtures for the newly sponsored BetVictor Isthmian League as the Premier Division (Step 3) league gets underway on Saturday 10th August and the three Step 4 leagues kick off one week later on Saturday 17th August - some of the step 4 clubs will be in Emirates FA Cup action on the 10th August.
The sponsors make Hornchurch 7/2 favourites for the title followed by Margate at 10/1 and then a clutch of club's at 12/1 in Kingstonian, Haringey Borough, Folkestone Invicta and Bognor Regis Town.
The Urchins who finished 15th last season have signed Rickie Hayles (from East Thurrock United), Arthur Lee (from Tonbridge Angels) and a trio of players from Enfield Town in Matt Johnson, Mickey Parcell and Joe Wright. I think they'll do okay this season and will be involved in the race for the play-offs but I wouldn't rate them 6.5 points above any other team in the title race.

TheColdEnd will be looking into the Premier Division in a little more detail in the coming weeks.
