OUR First XV will begin their 2022/23 season with a long trip up to County Durham to face Darlington Mowden Park.

The National 1 fixtures were this morning confirmed as we build towards the new campaign.

We kick-off at the Darlington Arena on September 3, before Rams visit Kingsey Road for an unmissable derby a week later.

An away fixture at Rosslyn Park and home encounter against Birmingham Moseley complete an exciting opening month of the season.

As we move towards the new year, we then head to Old Bath Road to take on Rams in a Christmas derby clash on December 17.

The second half of the campaign includes more home games (7) than away (5), with some eye-catching encounters against Park (January 7), Cinderford (March 7) and Cambridge (March 25) to look forward to.

We then complete the season at Kingsey Road against Darlington on April 22.

With regards to promotion and relegation, National League Rugby say "clarification for the season within the community game will be confirmed following RFU Council approval. RFU Council meets this Friday so clubs will have all the information they require next week for planning."

Please see below for the full fixture list and we will update you if there are any changes.
