Hunslet Warriors Step Up To The Mark!!

28th March, 2010

Following the withdrawal of Smawthorne Panthers as the Yorkshire Juniors representatives in the U15's Wars of the Roses Challenge a new Champion has stepped up to the mark.

Hunslet Warriors will proudly carry the White Rose league's banner into Easter Sunday's game against Lancashire Cup Winners Orrell St James and a warm and friendly welcome is certainly assured.

The South Leeds outfit have been in fine form this season and are worthy of their League's faith in them as the Champions in the Challenge.  With both the Warriors and Orrell currently at their peak a fascinating game is in store.

Meanwhile, the Challenge facing U13's Lancashire Cup Winners Blackbrook Royals is no easier as they take on the mighty Stanningley, a club who have become a non-stop production line for SuperLeague players over the past few years with the likes of Jamie Peacock, Jamie Jones Buchanan, Mark Calderwood all Stanningley old boys.

Two great games in store

Admission for spectators will be, £2/Adult & £1/Child with all monies raised from programmes/admission reinvested for the benefit of all to enhance future Wars of the Roses challenges for both League’s young players. 

Please come down and support the players.
