PLYMOUTH Albion will start life in National One with two home fixtures.

Graham Dawe’s side will entertain Richmond at Brickfields on September 5 before then welcoming fellow west London side Rosslyn Park to Plymouth the following week.

Their first away game will be against newly-promoted Hull Ionians on September 19, before a home match against Fylde and then a trip to Coventry on October 3.

It means four of Albion’s opening five fixtures will be against teams who finished in the top seven last season.

Plymouth, relegated from the Championship, will finish their first campaign back in National One at Richmond.

Meanwhile, Albion’s neighbours Launceston will welcome James Shanahan’s Old Albanian side to Polson Bridge on the opening day of the National Two South season on September 5.
