Scarlets game confirmed for Good Friday

 

The eagerly awaited derby fixture against the Scarlets will take place on Good Friday, 2nd April, with a 7.05pm kick-off.

The announcement comes as Celtic Rugby confirmed the dates and kick-off times for Rounds 15 and 16 of the Magners League in April.

Speaking of the scheduling, Director of Celtic Rugby David Jordan said “as we draw towards the culmination of the league stage of the 2009/10 Tournament, the introduction of the Play-Offs mean that there will be more meaningful games than ever before and each team will want to field their strongest possible side to challenge for a place in the top four.

“We are also mindful of giving our teams the best opportunity to progress in other tournaments, and as such consider the fixtures we have agreed as the best solution for all concerned.”
