2017 League 1 fixtured released
Kingstone Press League 1 will see new entrants Toronto Wolfpack travel to London Skolars when the competition gets underway on March 4.
2017 sees the introduction of the first ever North American club to play in english competition and Toronto Wolfpack will begin the competition with five away games at before they take on Oxford in round six of the competition at the Lamport Stadium in Toronto on Saturday May 6, before Barrow Raiders become the second English club to travel to Canada on Saturday May 20.
Toronto Wolfpack will not compete in the League 1 Cup but will enter the Ladbrokes Challenge Cup in the third round along with the other 15 League 1 clubs.
The League 1 Cup, which was won by Rochdale Hornets in 2016, will reach its climax as the curtain raiser to the Summer Bash.
The newly named South Wales Ironmen will begin their 2017 campaing at home against Whitehaven whilst fellow Cumbrian team Workington Town will host Newcastle Thunder.
Other opening fixtures include a bye for Barrow Raiders in week one. The reason for the bye week in League 1 in 2017 is that the York City Knights are not currently included in the 2017 Fixture List.
The RFL is currently liaising with the Club in relation its ownership structure and, subject to resolution of this, the RFL hopes to be in a position to confirm their participation in Kingstone Press League 1 in the next few weeks.
Regardless of the outcome of these discussions, it is the RFL’s current intention that League 1 will be a 16 team competition in 2017.
