THE new Egremont & District Sunday League season has its big kick-off this weekend.

Defending champs: Cleator Moor line up before their game against Hall Park on Sunday

Cleator Moor FC will be looking to retain the Division One title they won last season, and launch their 2012-13 campaign at home to FC Labour on Sunday.

Cleator Moor concluded their pre-season with a memorial game against their fellow champions Hall Park, last year’s Workington & District League winners, on Sunday.

The game, which finished 3-1 to Hall Park, was played in memory of the late Hall Park manager and Workington League fixture secretary Graham Caton, who died in April. See page 45 for a report and pictures from the game held at Mirehouse FC.

Fixtures for Sunday, August 19: Division One – Cleator Moor FC v Labour FC, Mirehouse v Kells, Haven Athletic v Bransty, Thornhill v St Bees Village; Division Two – Hillcrest FC v Lowca, Moor Row v Gosforth, St Bees Athletic v Kit Horns, Sandwith v St Bees.
