CJL FINAL NEXT SPRING

WE can now officially confirm that the Final of the Championship Jubilee League has been held over until the start of the 2023 season.

The matter has been under discussion since it became clear that it would not be possible for Leicester and Poole to stage the deciding meetings this year.

It has now been confirmed that the two clubs will meet in a two-legged contest next spring.

With Leicester expected to move up to the Premiership in 2023, Poole will be permitted to strengthen for those two meetings in order to equalise team strengths, as this will become an inter-league event.
