Fair Oak will rely on their tried and tested championship winning formula for the Southern Premier League Division 2 opener against Langley Manor at Lapstone Park.
County Division 1 winners in 2015, Oaks achieved top four finishes in 2016 and 2017 before taking Division 3 by storm last summer. Their side remains effectively unchanged.
Fair Oak: Abbas, Hughes, Kemp, Bullough, Smith, McKenzie, Oxley, Gwynn, Featherstone, Mash, Stewart.

St Cross Symondians II will fancy themselves after a close third place finish behind promoted duo Sparsholt and Rowledge last season. They visit relegated Hartley Wintney.
Liphook & Ripsley were relegated from SPL1 despite reaching the National Village Cup final at Lord’s, but face a tough curtain raiser against visiting Basingstoke & North Hants at Ripsley Park, where they are near enough at full strength.
Liphook: Rob Nicklin, Chris Martin, Harry Munt, Suman Ganguly, George Neave, Grant Rouse, Jonny Pryce, Andy Barnes, Sean Burton, Oscar Amis, Charles Janczur.
Jaded after working long hours at Hampshire’s Second XI matches on the Isle of Wight this week, Tom Cowley is absent from South Wilts’ home game with Paultons.
