First 15 fixtures announced for Fylde RFC season

Fylde RFC last played at the Woodlands on March 7 and are pencilled-in to return on September 12

Flyer Hall becomes Fylde's second new signing of summer

The schedule announced by the Rugby Football Union sees each club play all of the other 15 in the division once .

For Fylde, matches against newly promoted Harrogate and Bournville launch a series of seven home and eight away games, though it is unclear when the season will start.

The suggested September 5 date sounds unlikely, with the game still at the second of six stages on the RFU's ‘road map’ for a return to action. Stage two allows training only for small groups with social-distancing.

Should it be possible to start the season on any Saturday before Christmas, Fylde would begin with the fixture scheduled for that date and continue as per the list, meaning the Harrogate game would follow the Chester game and would become the first of 2021. No further fixtures will be announced until it is possible for the season to begin.
