RAMS Titans are set to renew rivalries with all but two of their opponents from last year’s Raging Bull Shield Division One as they look to build on their best-ever fourth-placed finish.
With Rosslyn Park Rangers and Henley Vikings will not be competing in the league, Wimbledon 2nd XV and Dorking A XV step up to complete the 11-team competition.
Also involved are last year’s champions Ampthill 1881, runners-up Richmond Vikings (2nd XV) and third-placed Bishop’s Stortford Blues, who finished on the same number of points as Titans.
The other clubs sides competing are Esher Cardinals, Richmond Saxons (3rd XV), Chinnor Falcons, Barnes 2nd XV and Blackheath Heathens.
Titans are scheduled to start with an away game at Chinnor on Saturday, September 9, though all fixtures are subject to confirmation.
They are also due to play a series of friendlies against the likes of Cinderford, the RAF and University sides during the upcoming campaign.
