London Welsh RFC have announced that the Kassam Stadium, Oxford, will be the venue for the ‘Home’ leg of their Championship Final against Cornish Pirates on May 30th.
Pirates will host the first leg – venue to be confirmed - on May 23rd. Both games will be televised on Sky Sports and both will kick-off at 7.45pm.
London Welsh have taken this opportunity to showcase the Kassam Stadium because it is one of the grounds where the club could play next season if they are promoted to the Aviva Premiership.
It is the home of Oxford United F.C. but the stadium was always designed for rugby as well as football. It offers high quality playing and spectator facilities plus excellent floodlighting which was a factor in the club’s decision.
London Welsh will be making special travel arrangements for its loyal band of supporters – full details will be announced in due course.
