Manager Darren Marjoram has drafted in a number of new signings and is hopeful the ambitious local club can establish themselves in Division One.
Marjoram said: “Every game promises to be a test for us and we need to find our feet quickly.
“We have a fantastic squad who will give their all and enjoy their football. With a group like this the sky is the limit.
