IT is anticipated that all outstanding first round ties in the 2025 will be played tomorrow and Sunday, after only three of the scheduled 17 fixtures were completed last week.
Irish outfit Longhorns are returning to Wigan for their meeting with Ince Rose Bridge, who had put in a huge effort – sadly in vain – to get the game played six days ago.
The British Army and the RAF will try again at Aldershot while Lock Lane’s match with Doncaster Toll Bar will now start at 2.30pm.
