The Highland League have announced the fixture list for the new season.
Last week it was announced Highland League teams would return to competitive league action on November 28, following a long delay caused by the coronavirus pandemic, which curtailed last season in March.
With the vital return of fans, at least to some of the league’s grounds, now looking close, the management committee has elected to push ahead with the new campaign.
Many Highland League sides haven’t played a competitive game since March, and Forres Mechanics have opted out of 2020/21 fixtures, instead going into abeyance for the season.
The fixtures are as follows:
