Lancashire RFU

Given the rather shaky start to the season for some of our Clubs lower XVs the League Management Committee have decided to suspend the Combi-League Cups for the time being and let Clubs concentrate on fielding Lower XVs in League games only. The Combi-League Cup Rounds where due to start end of September but we will now look to re-scheduled and re-format the Combi-League Cups in the latter part of the season.

It has been a difficult start for many Clubs not just in our Leagues but also NOWIRUL and RFU Leagues and therefore it makes sense to ease the pressure and allow Clubs the chance to field teams in League games as a priority. Postponing League games does give us the opportunity to re-schedule at a later date Cup games however don’t do us any favours and we thought best not to create issues by adding to the list of postponements and the inevitable backlog that would create.

To make it clear this only effects the Combination League Cups, not the adm Senior Leagues or the Combination Leagues themselves. We are sure in second half of the season we can look to initiate a new Cup schedule for the Teams in the Combi-Leagues.

Stay Safe
