Seaton Rangers will start their National Conference adventure with a home game on Saturday, March 5.
Elected into the Conference earlier this month, Seaton will host Eastmoor Dragons in their opening Division Three game.
The club is looking forward to the challenge ahead, and especially to creating a big impression as hosts when they entertain the Wakefield side.
Seaton do have Cumbrian company in Division Three and both their county rivals will start with an away trip on the opening day.
Hensingham, who only joined the Conference themselves three years ago, and this coming season will be under new coach Jessie Jo Parker (ex-Whitehaven) travel to Bentley.
There are a lot of Yorkshire trips ahead for the three Cumbrians and Millom, regarded as the oldest amateur rugby league club in the world, start with a trip to Batley Boys.
At the top end of the competition in the Premier Division a lot will be expected of Wath Brow Hornets, beaten in last season’s shortened competition’s Grand Final. They start with a trip to Castleford to play Lock Lane.
Egremont will kick-off at home and they also have Yorkshire opposition, former champions Hunslet Club Parkside who are likely to be thereabouts again.
Peter Smith has again taken over as coach at Kells and the man who led them from the Third Division to the Premier in successive seasons has to start this time in Division One.
It’s a continuation of the Cumbria v Yorkshire theme as they start with a trip to Featherstone Lions.
The only one of the seven Cumbrian sides in the Conference with Lancashire opposition is Barrow Island and they will be off to Warrington to take on Crosfields.
