This years Bill Beaumont Cup campaign for Lancashire Senior Mens XV has a far flung feel for the first two matches prior to the Roses clash on home turf at Fylde on Saturday 18th May .
This Saturday sees the Lancastrians travel to Wearside to take on Durham at Sunderland RUFC . This is the first time Lancashire Senior Mens XV have played at this ground , indeed the following week there is another first when they travel to play Eastern Counties at Volac Park home of National 1 outfit Cambridge. There have been matches between the two counties in recent seasons but this is a first visit to the Blood and Sand venue .
The group stage round of games will finish on much more familiar territory , with the first Roses game in several years being staged at Fylde’s Woodlands Ground on May 18th .
