Yorkshire RFU

Now that the deadline for clubs to express an interest in playing in the Papa Johns Community Cup Competitions has passed, we wish to invite clubs to take part in the Yorkshire Cup Competitions.

Your Club can elect to participate in both Cups, meaning that those Clubs that are knocked out of the Papa Johns in the early rounds can have a second opportunity to enjoy Cup success and also extend their season by electing to join in our own County Cups.

The Structured Season relating to the Cup weekends sent to clubs on 22nd July is attached for your information. Please note that some dates may change depending upon the number of clubs involved.

The finals day for the four Yorkshire Cup Competitions is planned to be at Castle Park, the home of Doncaster Knights on Sunday 14th May, when all Cup Finals will be held.
This promises to be a great day for the County.
I hope you will support this new event.

At this stage we would like Clubs to express an interest in entering one of the four Cup Competitions: -

1. Regional 1 and 2 Clubs -Yorkshire Cup - after completion of the pool stages of the Papa Johns Community Cup.

2. Level 7 and the top 6 clubs in level 8 (based upon league positions at the end of the season) - Yorkshire Shield

3. Bottom 6 clubs in Level 8 (based upon league positions at the end of the season) and level 9 clubs – Yorkshire Silver Trophy

4. Level 10 Clubs – Yorkshire Vase.

Please send your replies to competitions@yorkshirerfu.co.uk by 31st December.

Regards

Peter Morgan
