HOSPITAL Cup champions Atherton Colls kick off this season's competition with a home clash against West Lancashire League Division One outfit Tempest United.

The second round has also teed up a potential Flat Cap derby, with Colls due to meet the winners of Atherton LR and Stoneclough, if they both progress.

Turton, beaten in the final last month, begin their attempt to reach the Macron Stadium once more with a first round tie at Bolton County.

The well-established competition has been extended to start in the summer this season to potentially avoid the backlog of fixtures which plagued some clubs last time around.

Full first round draw: Old Boltonians v Eagley, Breightmet United v Ladybridge, Atherton LR v Stoneclough, Atherton Colls v Tempest United, Bolton County v Turton, CMB v Atherton Town, Little Lever v Blackrod Town, Hindsford v Prestwich Heys.

Second round draw: Atherton LR/Stoneclough v Atherton Colls/Tempest United, CMB/Atherton Town v Old Bolts/Eagley, Little Lever/Blackrod v Breightmet/Ladybridge, Bolton County/Turton v Hindsford/Prestwich Heys.
