The RFU has just issued the fixtures for the Greene King IPA Championship and the Championship Cup for the upcoming 2019/20 season.

We shall be publishing full details of all of our games in both the Greene King IPA Championship and the Championship Cup, just as soon as we have agreed dates and times with our opponents and as soon as home fixture date clashes with Richmond RFC are resolved.

In the meantime, we would like to share three features of the fixture release with you.

Firstly, the season begins later than previously, on the weekend of 21 September, and begins with three Championship Cup games. Secondly, our group opponents in the Championship Cup are Cornish Pirates, Nottingham and Yorkshire Carnegie.

Finally, our opening Greene King IPA Championship game on the weekend of 12 October will be a home game against just relegated Newcastle Falcons
