YORK KNIGHTS have confirmed that their Challenge Cup Second Round tie against Keighley Cougars has been moved to Sunday 2 February with a 3pm kick-off.
Hull KR and York are set to play each in Amsterdam on the weekend of January 25/26, but the Knights were drawn to play Keighley in the second round of the Challenge Cup that weekend.
The Amsterdam friendly was arranged a number of months ago in a bid to help grow the sport of rugby league in the Netherlands, but a clash with rugby league’s most prestigious competition initially threw up some questions.
But the Knights and Cougars have been working with the RFL to find a new date – and have now succeeded.
