A history-making foray into the Ryman League will begin for Dereham Town at home to Heybridge Swifts on Saturday, August 10.

Matt Henman's Thurlow Nunn Premier Division champions – moving up to Step Four of the non-league ladder for the first time – will still have something of a familiar first month, however, in new territory.

They come up against former Wroxham boss David Batch's AFC Sudbury outfit, at home, on Saturday, August 24, before making the short trip to Trafford Park for a Norfolk derby just two days later.

The Magpies host the Yachtsmen in the return at Aldiss Park on Boxing Day.
