The SRU have re-published this seasons fixtures which have the 1XV taking the short trip down to Portobello in their first game of the season.

This will be a tough match for the 1XV against a team who finished last season in excellent form.

The 2XV season starts the same day and Northern will be hosting Inverleith in the first derby of the new season. This will be a rematch of our final game of last season where Northern narrowly beat Inverleith.
