Yorkshire Rugby

Fixtures attached

I posted this on the wrong board!

Fixtures are now up on the RFU web site.

It certainly will be a challenging season for every club involved in R1NE and R1NW.

I have seen a couple of Scunthorpes good players have decided to keep playing National League rugby. I wonder if most of Hulls players will also be jumping ship.

It's not difficult to notice Ilkley, Scarborough and Driffield have been getting their cheque books out again.

Any early shouts? Who's got the luck of the draw?

Excuse me Sir, we don't have a cheque book. We have a Coutts Silk card......

Any idea why we're starting a week later than usual ?

Because there isn't enough games to fill out a full season??

I don't mind it actually. Gives everyone a chance to have pre-season friendlies a week before the season starts without being affected by bank holiday weekend.

Never known the season not start on the first Saturday of September. Mind you, we go way past the end of April these days and I think we have two games in April next season, as opposed to one this past one.

Alnwick lad here wishing everyone a good season when it comes.
Our 2nd team have joined the leagues this year and at the moment, with infinite wisdom, the fixture gods have arranged for both teams to be either away or at home on the same date. Hopefully, something can be done before September.
