We have avoided relegation due to a lengthy league structure review that has resulted in just one team being relegated from Y3 and higher divisions. We will be joined by Old Otliensians (relegated from Y2), Wibsey and Osset (promoted from Y4) who replace Wensleydale, Thornensians and Leeds Modernians. A full fixture list will be released in June.

Our coaching team are already working hard on pre-season training plans, so I call on all of our players to make the training sessions effective by turning up in numbers and work together to ensure both the 1st XV and Crusaders kick off the new season with a bang.

Sincerely yours,

Graeme Forster
Chairman
