Match Preview | West Bowling at home in the Challenge Cup this Sunday
22/01/2025
Sheffield Eagles take on West Bowling this Sunday in our first competitive home game of the season in the 2nd Round of the Betfred Challenge Cup at Olympic Legacy Park (3pm).
The Eagles had their first run out of the season on Sunday afternoon against Doncaster as we ended as 10-26 winners in a pre-season friendly at the Eco-Power Stadium. Read the match report from the game HERE.
West Bowling also had their first game of the season at the weekend as they took on Cutsyke Raiders. A 48-16 victory meant they progressed in the competition to take on the Eagles this Sunday coming.
A mouthwatering third-round tie awaits the winner of this weekend's game with reigning World Champions Wigan Warriors awaiting either side. That game will be played on the weekend of 7-9th February.
Sheffield Eagles vs West Bowling takes place this coming Sunday, at 3pm, at Olympic Legacy Park. Please read below to find out all of the match information in our match preview.
