The Bermondsey based team have just finished a training camp at an exclusive resort in Clapham and are raring to go.
Veteran Andy Mason was delighted with the draw and said: "There are no easy fixtures at this level. Except this one, we're going to dick them inside out."
The other opposition in the league looks just as tough, with No Eye Dear, Goodfellas and Pollards Pirates likely to provide some tough challenges over the weeks.
A captain has yet to be announced for the side, although manager Nick Pearce believes his is a side full of leaders and said: "We don't need to rush into naming a skipper on matchday. Tom Hope is club captain, and if he starts, he's captain - simple as.
"We've got a good blend of youth and experience, but really any of them could lead side. I'm confident this side can show Magdalen a thing or two."
Mill Street Blues have a relatively early kick-off and Pearce believes this will be to their advantage and said: "Our boys hit their peak around 6, and the football field is no different from the pub. They're champions in both arenas."
