OTLEY Town are facing a tough start to the new West Yorkshire League Premier Division season.

They kick off their campaign away to champions Fields on Saturday and follow that up with a home game on Wednesday against the West Riding County Cup holders Oxenhope Recreation (6.15pm).

The Town management team of Dave Morris, Graham McGhee and Nigel Firth are hoping to build on last season's 11th place finish.

Otley Town Reserves, who won promotion to the West Yorkshire Alliance League Division One, will be guided by a new management trio of Adam Cater, Phil Stamp and Simon Hollingdrake.

They open their league campaign at home to Wyke Wanderers on Saturday and follow that with a trip to Oxenhope Recreation on Monday evening (6.15pm).

Their squad includes a number of players who have worked their way up from the club's youth teams.

Otley Towns third team will be competing in the Craven League where the management team of Kevin Bates, Richard Sharpe and John McCabe will be looking to challenge for the Division Three title.

They start next Thursday evening at home to Ilkley FC (6.15pm).
