Champions Waringstown will start the defence of their Premier League title with a home clash against Woodvale on April 23rd.

It's one of five matches in the newly revamped top flight with ten teams participating.

Newly promoted Cregagh start with an away day trip to Carrickfergus, while Cliftonville Academy's reward for promotion is a home clash with North Down.

CIYMS face Lisburn at Belmont, while there's an attractive looking fixture at Stormont as CSNI entertain Instonians.

The sides will play each other once in the first phase before the league spits into two sections.

The top six will play each other once as they battle for the title, whilst the bottom four sides will attempt to stave off relegation.

The league will take a break at the start of July with the Challenge and T20 Cups taking centre stage before league action resumes on July 23rd.
