Mark Ward has named 20 players in the Eagles LDRL team that will travel to East Yorkshire.

For the Wheelchair side, Greg Brown includes nine players in his squad for the Challenge Trophy.

Taking on the likes of Halifax Panthers, Gravesend Dynamite, Bradford Bulls, York Knights and the two Hull clubs - it’ll certainly be an acid test for the Eagles who have come on leaps and bounds since their creation a few years ago.

Brown is without the injured duo of Emma Pearson and Shaun Orton, Jenny Pearson misses out through sickness while David Butler is in Wales with the England Universities team.
