Instant reunion for Peterborough RUFC and coach Powell

There will be an instant re-union between coach Phil Powell and Peterborough RUFC when the English Clubs Championship 2020-21 finally gets under way, probably in September.

Powell left Borough for Old Northamptonians in the close season and the teams will clash at Fengate on the opening day of the Midlands Division One season, on a date that has yet to be confirmed.

Peterborough Lions will open their Division One campaign with a home clash against Market Harborough at Bretton Park.

Oundle, promoted last season, start their Premier Division season with a home game against Broadstreet.
