The top tier of the Northern Irish football pyramid is set to return with 38 game weeks of rip roaring thrills that'll make Space Mountain feel like a trip down a slide. 

To get the fanbases excitedly overhyped and crushingly pessimistic all at the same time, your buds at Kicking Match are serving up a towering helping of club by club previews of the season ahead as our introduction into this podcasting game. 

We grabbed commentator and presenter Michael Clarke to join in as people actually trust what he has to say about football. 

And we also nabbed a chat with Newry City Fan and podcaster Ally McKenzie to help give us an inside track on how the Mournemen will fair this season, as if we're being honest we didn't watch a lot of their highlights last season but do need to know who's good from them for our fantasy team.

Running Order:

If your team isn't here, keep an eye out for Part 2.
