Leigh Centurions Head Coach Paul Rowley and Head of Rugby Derek Beaumont have expressed the excitement in the camp after the 2015 fixtures were released. The Centurions face former Super League opposition in each of their first two home fixtures of the 2015 Kingstone Press Championship campaign.

The reigning Championship League Leaders and Grand Final winners have the mouth-watering prospect of Bradford Bulls opening up the new season at LSV on Sunday 15 February 2015. Two weeks later London Broncos, who were also relegated from Super League are the visitors to LSV. The Centurions have three away games in their first five fixtures, all against sides who finished in the leading positions in last season’s Championship. After the trip to The Shay to play Halifax, Paul Rowley’s side are next on their travels to Doncaster, the scene of their only Championship defeat in 2014. In round 5 the Centurions visit Featherstone Rovers, the grand final runners-up.

The Round 14 summer Bash fixtures at Bloomfield Road, Blackpool have still to be confirmed.

The Centurions close their regular season after Round 23 when Doncaster visit LSV at the end of July.

The competition then splits with the top four teams in the Championship playing a middle eight competition for the right to play in Super League in 2016.

What a great season ahead of us, let's show the rl world this town wants a sl club
That looks like a highly competitive league, the 18th man needs to be well up for it starting with a 6000 gate for the opener

If marketed properly there's no reason why we can't get all four stands open

Fantastic - roll on 15th Feb and beyond

Well you've just short of 4 months to figure out how to achieve it, I assume work starts in the morning

Looking forward to the first game of the season now. Never been to LSV so I look forward to it, plus it's not too far for me to travel!

You will be made to feel most welcome - don't forget to bring a few friends - say about 6,000

Hit the ground running against Bradford in front of a packed house.

May and June are looking pricey though!

Tough start, that, the two relegated teams plus the three who finished 2nd, 3rd, & 4th in the Championship. Now wouldn't five wins there set down a marker?

Might as well get them out of the way early doors, will be a great indication of how we'll do.

Can't wait.
Tough start but I fancy it gives us a good chance to beat the ex SL teams as we will be a relatively unchanged and settled team since we have retained most of our team and all our key position players.
I love Paul Rowley's response. Don't care who, where or when just bring em on. Respect them all but fear nobody

Be on the phone tomorrow for me season tickets.

London away , the Carolis 30th wedding anniversary .

Some tough fixtures early doors,but come through those unscathed we will have done well.Its going to be a cracking season tho,cant wait.

Is the championship on Sky next year or is it just the Super League Qualifiers that are on?
