THE release of next season’s fixtures has confirmed the prediction of who we will be meeting during the coming season. Northwich will be travelling to newly promoted Anselmians for their opening league fixture. A team Northwich beat home & away during their promotion season 2015-16.
Then visiting the other newcomers to North 1 West relegated Birkenhead Park for their second away fixture of September. The last time Northwich visited Birkenhead they narrowly lost 26-24. That same season Birkenhead beat Penrith in the play-off to gain their promotion, after Northwich beat Park in the Cheshire Vase final.
Northwich don’t meet the other league newcomers until November where they visit De La Salle promoted from the North Lancs/Cumbria division as champions, a week later hosting Penrith at Moss Farm, for first league meeting between the teams. Penrith moved sideways by the RFU North’s committee after finishing fourth in North One East last season, the faithful will recall a similar move was made to the Midlands by Northwich.
Northwich’s annual visit to Isle of Man is not until 1st December to take on Douglas, so no need to rush booking your hotel as the weather may well have an influence on the fixture.
