2014 Championship One fixtures released

Oldham will begin their quest for the Kingstone Press Championship One title with a trip to South Wales Scorpions in the opening weekend of the 2014 season.

Oldham, who missed out on promotion in 2013 when they lost to Rochdale Hornets in the play-off final, will start the new campaign on Sunday March 3.

For the 2014 season each of the nine Championship One teams will play an extra four games during the 24 rounds, two of which will be at home and two away. These four fixtures have been selected at random based on finishing positions in 2013.

The opening weekend will see newly-relegated York City Knights welcome the University of Gloucestershire All Golds and Hunslet Hawks travel to Hemel Stags. Oxford will kick-off their second season in Championship One with a home fixture against London Skolars.

Gateshead Thunder have a bye in Round One and will play their first game of 2014  at home to Oxford on Sunday March 9.

The Kingstone Press Championship One clubs enter the Tetley’s Challenge Cup over the weekend of March 15-16, a competition that concludes with the final at Wembley Stadium on Saturday August 23.

As announced last month, the Northern Rail Cup will not be contested in the 2014 season.

Details of televised fixtures will be confirmed before the start of the season.
