After what seems like an eternity without league rugby, we were delighted to receive the news this week that fixtures for the new y4 season have been announced.

The Mods start with two home games before making the short trip to Leeds Medics.

It's difficult to say what the big games will be, because so much has changed in the last year or so and the league has reorganised. But local rivals Aireborough's first season back in Yorkshire 4 should serve up some tasty fixtures and if the last Y4 campaign is anything to go by, York RI will be strong as well.

Here's the full fixture list up until the league splits.

Because this year, anything can happen.
