THE fixture lists for the new Allianz Premiership Women's Rugby have been released and it's a tough start for Worcester Warriors Women.
They will welcome reigning champions Gloucester-Hartpury in the opener at Sixways on November 18.
The competitive season begins in September when the Allianz Cup gets underway, with Warriors playing Exeter Chiefs Women first up. They then play three further cup games before starting their league season; away at Leicester Tigers Women (September 30), Sale Sharks Women at home (October 14) and Bristol Bears Women away (October 21).
A new dawn is here.

Fans heading to Sixways to watch Warriors have been promised a 'completely revamped matchday experience' this season, with the club going above and beyond to make each home fixture an electrifying event, including activities taking place before, during and after the match.
Fans who don’t want to miss a moment’s action can get their hands on a season ticket which gives them access to all home league and Cup fixtures. Adult tickets cost just £100 with those aged 12-18 paying £50.
Warriors has also announced fans under the age of 12 can continue to visit for free. With a minimum of three home Cup games and nine home Allianz Premier 15s games lined up this season, there's no shortage of rugby action.
Jon Graham, managing director at Warriors Women RFC said: "Our fans and community are at the heart of everything we do here at Warriors, so to be able to reveal our new ticketing and fixtures makes us even more excited for the season ahead.
"We have been working hard behind the scenes to make the matchday experience better than ever, ensuring we provide a league-leading offering to our supporters.
"This coming season will be one that is etched into the history of the Warriors ad women’s rugby forever, as we’re the league’s only team that doesn't lean on a men's side and stands proudly on our own merit."
