Eagles to battle Raidettes

11/05/2023

Sheffield Eagles Women will make the journey to Oulton Raidettes’ Raider Park on Sunday in the Betfred Women’s Championship.

The Eagles have hit a purple patch with three consecutive league wins, their last being a tense affair against Hull FC.

Danie Green notched twice, with Ellie Tiffin also getting on to the scoresheet, as the Eagles came away from The Allam Sports Centre with a 10-14 triumph.

They will expect a tough challenge this weekend as Oulton won the Championship Grand Final against Salford Red Devils last year but refused promotion to Super League 2 due to future stadium requirements.

It will be a great acid test for the Eagles to see where they’re at in their first Championship season following promotion from League 1 last term. 

The Eagles’ 1-6-7-9 spine of Tiffin, Parker, Palmer and Wood will prove dangerous for the Raidettes while the likes of Pete Lendon and Beth Arnold will continue to lead the forward pack.

Here’s Liam Browne’s squad for the trip to Oulton;
