The league has expanded from three to four divisions this season and has also revived the Golding Shield and Cup competitions.

The Golding Shield kicks off the campaign on Sunday and will feature the GMCA debuts of newcomers British Shoe Corporation and Newtown Linford as well as Tilton and Lowesby who have returned to the league after a few years’ absence.
