PREVIEW | We welcome Workington to Dronfield this Sunday!

14/07/2026

We're back at The MEPS International Home of Football Stadium this Sunday for the first of three consecutive home fixtures, as we welcome Workington Town in Round 20 of the Betfred Championship (1:30pm KO).

The Eagles return to home soil in confident mood after extending their winning streak to three matches with a hard-fought comeback victory over Salford RLFC. Craig Lingard's side came from behind to claim another important two points and will now be aiming to make it four wins on the bounce.

Workington arrive well-rested after a three-week break since their last outing. Their most recent performance saw them record an impressive 40-14 home victory over Hunslet, ending a five-match winless run. 

That difficult spell began back in early May, when the Eagles travelled to Cumbria and came away with a 28-16 victory.

Take a look below for everything you need to know ahead of Sunday's clash with Workington Town.
