Our Challenge Cup Second Round tie against Ashton Bears will be played at FLAIR Stadium on Saturday 25th February.
Ashton Bears ARFLC, who are based in Ashton-in-Makerfield, secured their place in the Second Round as they beat British Army Rugby League in the First Round on Saturday afternoon. Although the draw had handed us an away game against the winner of that tie, the game will now be played at FLAIR Stadium with kick-off at 14:00.
Ashton Bears play in the North West Mens League Premier Division and won all 18 league games in 2022, but were runners-up last year as they lost to Orell St James in the Grand Final. This tie will be history making for the Bears as they face semi-professional opposition for the first time.
Further details on tickets will be announced in due course.
