Kendal Rugby Club will begin life in National League Three North on Saturday, September 3, as they host Hull after the fixtures for the 2016/2017 season were released.

The Black and Ambers, who gained promotion with victory over Kirkby Lonsdale in front of over a 3,000 strong crowd, had already returned to pre-season training as they prepare for what will be their last ever season at Mint Bridge.

Kendal face a tough start to the campaign where they travel to Firwood Waterloo, before they host Huddersfield, while they end the month with an away trip to Wirral. The last game at Mint Bridge will be on Saturday, April 8, as they entertain Billingham.
