​Three noticeable names will be missing from this season’s roster - five-time winners FC Britannia, 2021/2022 champions Newton George and Dragon and last season’s champions Renishaw Miners Welfare, who all withdrew from the league during the close season.

However, a raft of new clubs, 12 in total, have joined the league. The highest-placed new team are re-formed Killamarsh Juniors who will play in HKL TWO.

FC Duke and MSK Utd will be playing in HKL THREE, Chesterfield Junior Blues, Chesterfield Town Creswell Barnet Reserves and Woodthorpe Inn will be in HKL FOUR.

Crown and Anchor, Town FC, Renishaw FC and Tibshelf Community Reserves and White Hart Calow will play in HKL FIVE.

In addition three clubs have been re-named, Boot and Shoe are now Bridge Inn, Dizzy Duck are now Boythorpe and Royal Oak Whitwell become AFC Whitwell. As is usual all League games will kick off at 10.45 am.

*The Derbyshire Times would like teams in this year’s Chesterfield & District Sunday League to send us team photos that can be used for publication when the need arises.

Please e-mail a good quality team photo to sport@derbyshiretimes.co.uk, clearly identifying the team featured. Feel free to also send individual head shots with player names if desired.
