The new season fixtures have been published on the LMS. With four divisions and a new U1300 competition a busy season will ensue. There appears to be slightly fewer teams in Division One than in 2023-4, but an increased number in Divisions Three and Four. Thanks to Colin Abell for his work producing the fixtures.
