Hitchin Town will start their reprieved Southern League Premier Division Central season at home.

The Canaries had been relegated at the end of the last campaign but were given an 11th-hour stay of execution, Coalville Town's demise allowing them to stay at the higher level.

They and manager Brett Donnelly will be hoping for a much better season which will start on August 10 at Top Field against Bromsgrove Sporting.

Their first away trip comes three days later at Stamford before they go to AFC Telford United on the second weekend of the campaign.

The bank holiday will see Hitchin at home to Kettering Town on Saturday with Barwell away on the Monday.

Two Hertfordshire derbies come in September, both in midweek.

The first is on Tuesday, August 10, at home to Bishop's Stortford, with the second two weeks later at Royston Town.

The Christmas fixtures start with the return match against Stamford on December 21 while the Canaries go to newly-promoted Bedford Town on Boxing Day.

Two days later Telford arrive at Top Field with New Year's Day also at home, against Barwell.

Non League Day is on March 22 and sees Hitchin at Spalding United.

Easter should prove crucial this year as it falls on the penultimate weekend.

Hitchin start away to Alvechurch before hosting Bedford on Easter Monday.

The final day of the season on April 26 sends Donnelly's men to Redditch United.
