Warriors reveal fixture dates for 2014/15

Worcester Editorial 23rd Jul, 2014 Updated: 19th Oct, 2016   0

THE AMOUNT of matches played under the lights at Sixways has been reduced as Worcester Warriors aim to brighten up supporters’ Saturday afternoons.

The Greene King IPA Championship outfit has opted to play the majority of home games at 3pm on a Saturday, with their first coming on September 13 against local rivals Moseley.

Warriors’ fans will have to wait until November 7 before get their first taste of Fright night rugby at Sixways when they take on Bedford Blues before Jersey visit Sixways on Friday November 21.

Worcester will then revert to Saturday matches throughout the rest of the campaign, with an earlier start of 1pm when Rotherham Titans come to Worcester on Valentine’s Day.




Warriors Interim Chief Executive Anthony Glossop said he hoped the change in schedule, which also includes Friday night pre-season clashes against Ospreys and Exeter Chiefs, would attract more people to the club.

“We have always looked to make rugby at Sixways as accessible as possible and we are looking forward to offering supporters an extensive calendar of Saturday rugby to keep them entertained throughout the season,” he said.


“With four Friday matches planned into the schedule, there is something for everyone to enjoy and we are confident that the 2014/15 campaign will be a successful one for the club.”
