AHEAD of the 2023 season, the Challenge Cup TV cameras will be heading for Wigan – but not for the Warriors.
The Sportsman will kick off another exciting programme of rugby league coverage in 2023 with the first-round derby between two of Wigan’s renowned community clubs, St Patrick’s, and Ince Rose Bridge.
The tie will be played on Saturday week, February 11, kicking off at 3pm – with the winners earning the chance to spring a surprise in Round Two with a trip to Workington Town of the Betfred League One two weeks later.
The Sportsman will again provide live, exclusive, and free coverage of at least 20 fixtures from a range of competitions in 2023, including League One, the Betfred Women’s Super League and Wheelchair Rugby League throughout the season.
