The Hellenic League have released August's fixtures and Swindon's Premier Division sides have been handed tough starts.

Highworth face the unenviable task of visiting reigning champions North Leigh on the opening day (August 17), while Wootton Bassett entertain last season's runners-up Gloucester United.

Meanwhile, Don Rogers' newly promoted Pewsey Vale open with a trip to Bishops Cleeve and meet Bassett in the first midweek fixture. Fairford travel to Brackley and Cirencester Academy visit Southall.

In Division One West, Purton go to Slimbridge and Malmesbury Vics are also away at Harrow Hill.

The full fixture list will be released later this month.
