1st XV - North Lancs
Fixtures may still be subject to change, but this year the 1st XV kick off the season at home to Carnforth on 14 September, and visit Birchfield the following week.

To view the full fixtures, download the spreadsheet from http://rfunorth.com/fixtures/fixtures.htm

The new teams in North Lancs 2 this year are Bury and North Manchester, who come down from North Lancs 1, as well as Broughton, who have come from the NOWIRUL leagues to replace Chorley.

We are yet to receive confirmation of Cup fixtures, but we expect the first round to take place before the first league game, and subsequent rounds will take place around the league games - so please treat every weekend from September to April as a rugby weekend!

2nd XV
The 2nd VX are again in Raging Bull Division 4 South, which has seen a couple of changes. Oswestry 2 and Moore 2 have come down, to replace Heaton Moor 2 and Christleton while Broughton Park 5, Linley 2 and Wilmslow 4 have been promoted to replace Acton Nomads, Stockport 4 (both relegated) and Bowdon 3 (moved to Division 4 East)

The season kicks off a week earlier than the 1sts, with an away trip to Buxton 2 on Sat 7 September, with the first home game a week later against Broughton Park 5.

Full fixtures available on the Google spreadsheet from the NOWIRUL website

All fixtures will be in the fixtures section of the website as soon as they are confirmed and uploaded into the Pitchero database
