FootballCynic alerted you recently to the ten teams to watch this year - last year's ten biggest failures. Only two sides were playing competitively on day one of the season, but neither disappointed. Markyate found life more comfortable in the South Midlands League Division 2 losing only 1-0 to Risborough Rangers. It was business as usual for Downton. They lost 3-0 in their opener in Wessex Division One against plucky Fawley in front of 35 punters. We will await the return of Adur Athletic from the Worthing & District League next week.
