KSB United begin their season with a tough trip to Christian Restoration Manchester. A mixed squad for a summer friendly saw the Streeters surrender to a 5-5 draw despite dominating. The home side are improving every season, and despite United's good record against them, thye probably travel to the Hough End as underdogs for the first time.
The search for a regular goalkeeper continues, with Jozef Janusz once again kindly volunteering. There's a competitive return for Sam Lord, with a first appearance of the season for Andy Dawson. Andrew Riley will make his first league appearance, with Jonny Thorp and Sam Calvert joining the Streeters for the first time in a long time.
