It’s Fixture Release Day!

By Ian Townsend

Here’s the news you need

You’ve waited patiently for news of our fixtures (well, some of you have!), and now they’re here. The season is scheduled to start on Saturday 19th September and end on Saturday May 8th- with the Playoffs to follow- so we’ve rather a lot to cram into less than eight months.

Each of your clubs will now have their detailed, personalised fixture lists, so you will see them shortly, but in the meantime here are some of the highlights. The entire fixture list will be on the League website- hit the fixtures tab- soon.

The League kicks off with the same fixtures that started last season, if you can remember back as far as August 10th or 17th (Step Four) 2019- only with one subtle change. They are all in reverse!

Here are the fixtures for the first weekend:

Now, moving on to Christmas- Christmas Day is only one hundred and nineteen days away, just in case you were wondering- we have full fixture lists this year. As you’ll recall, for the last couple of seasons we’ve allowed clubs to choose whether they wanted festive fixtures or not, but the late start means we don’t have that option this time around.
