Blues fans won’t have to wait long to see their team in Southern League action for the first time when, just three days later, Tuesday, August 13, Bishop’s Stortford are the first visitors to Victory Road. Stortford were relegated from National League North last season.

The Blues first Saturday home clash comes four days later, with newly-promoted Harborough Town, playing at the highest level in their history, the opponents in Suffolk.

The first all-Suffolk derby involving Leiston comes on Tuesday, September 10, with AFC Sudbury the visitors to Victory Road, while there’s a huge Boxing Day clash, again at Victory Road, when near-neighbours Lowestoft Town visit. There’s also New Year’s Day trip to Royston Town.

Leiston end their league campaign at home to Biggleswade Town on Saturday, April 26, while the Blues enter the Emirates FA Cup at the first qualifying on Saturday, August 31, and the Isuzu FA Trophy on Saturday, October 5.
