The date has been set and York's teams are preparing to host their Lancaster opponents. Week 3 of summer term (Friday 13th May to Sunday 15th May) will see the greatest Roses ever. For the first time in the tournament's illustrious history one fixture will be hosted in a local stadium, a stage fit for Europe's largest inter-university tournament.

The whole weekend has a festival feel, with plenty of sport to watch and events to go to in the evening. After losing it in 2010 all of York will be looking to their sports teams to bring the Carter James Cup back home where it belongs.

Rugby Men's 1sts

The first time any match has been played at a stadium, and what better fixture than the ever popular and ever competitive Rugby 1sts. After yet another successful season, our boys promise to once again win big when it matters.
