The 2nd XV have been placed in Gloucester & District 1 alongside other 2nd XVs from clubs whose 1st XVx all play in higher divisions, from Gloucester Premier through to South West Premier (formerly National League 3 South West).
They will face Coney Hill, Gloucester Old Boys, Cheltenham Saracens, Old Patesians, Chosen Hill, Matson, Lydney, Newent, Stroud, Longlevens and Cheltenham in a 12 team league, playing each side home and away throughout the season.
The 3rd XV are positioned in Gloucester & District B, one of 4 mini-leagues of 6 teams, alongside Gordon League 2s, Minchinhampton 2s, Widden Old Boys 2s, Brockworth 2s and Cheltenham Saracens 3s.
They will play 10 games in the first 11 weeks of the season. The matches will start on 2 September and go to 11 November with one break on 14 October. Any team that plays 7 or more games (out of the 10) will go forward to the 10 or 8 team leagues to be arranged once the mini-leagues have finished.
For both sides these leagues represent a step up in level of competition from last season. Without doubt this is the most exciting year for the senior section of the club in many years as it continues to grow and develop.
