[QUOTE="Getofmeland, post: 349945, member: 12307"] The 2011 Engage Super League season will kick off with a repeat of this year's Grand Final between Wigan and St Helens. The clash is one of four derbies scheduled for the Magic Weekend in Cardiff, which has been moved from a May slot to start the season on February 12-13. The Rugby Football League have decided to revert to derby matches for the Magic Weekend, which will see all 14 teams play at the Millennium Stadium over two days. Fixtures for the previous two showpiece weekends in Edinburgh were determined by a draw. Huddersfield and Warrington will face each other in the first game on the opening day, in a repeat of last season's play-off clash won by the Giants. That is followed by Catalans v Harlequins,Castleford v Wakefield and Wigan v St Helens. The Sunday games will be Salford v Crusaders, Leeds v Bradford and Hull v Hull KR. Outstanding RFL chief executive Nigel Wood said: "This opening round of fixtures represents an outstanding way of kicking off the 2011 season in style. "The overwhelming majority of fans told us that they wanted to see local rivalry matches and I'm sure thousands of loyal rugby league supporters will be excited by the prospect of watching seven superb encounters in Cardiff at the start of next season." The first two Magic Weekends were held in Cardiff in 2007 and 2008, before the switch to Murrayfield. [url]http://www.skysports.com/story/0,19528,12196_6469610,00.html[/url] [/QUOTE]
