PROMOTION-chasing Troon and Irvine Meadow will face each other at Portland Park in the standout fixture of the opening weekend of the new junior season.
The final Super League season gets under way on Saturday, August 19 as the SJFA announced the seven rounds of matches.
Largs Thistle, who were relegated along with Troon last season, host Maryhill while Ayrshire District League champions Darvel host recently promoted Larkhall Thistle and Kello Rovers travel to Shettleston.
In the Premier Division, defending champions Glenafton Athletic will host newly promoted Clydebank while Cumnock travel to face Kilwinning Rangers at Abbey Park after the Buffs avoided relegation with a narrow 3-2 aggregate win over Kilsyth Rangers in the play-offs.
First Division champions Girvan start their first campaign in the Premier Division at home to Arthurlie and Auchinleck Talbot travel to face last season's runner's up Kirkintilloch Rob Roy.
Hurlford United host Beith and Kilbirnie Ladeside face Pollok in the other top division ties.
In the Ayrshire District League, promotion favourites Ardrossan Winton Rovers and Irvine Victoria will clash at Victoria Park.
With just 11 teams this season, Dalry Thistle have a free week on the opening weekend. Annbank United host Craigmark Burntonians and Ardeer Thistle will take on Maybole.
Muirkirk play promotion chasing Whitletts Victoria and the final tie sees Saltcoats Victoria host Lugar Boswell Thistle.
