Final score York Acorn 22 Oulton Raiders 2

So a short trip for our Round 3 fixture. Finally an away win?

Re: Fixtures 2025 : Sat Jan 25, 2025 4:08 pm  

Our 3rd round tie has been confirmed as York Acorn away after they beat Oulton Raiders earlier today, will be a new ground to add to the list.

That will be an amazing experience for the West Hull lads, a lot of these results will be one sided thrashings but it's a once in a lifetime for some of the amateur players getting to play against international players.

York Acorn v Hull has been confirmed for Saturday 8 February at 2pm, played at Featherstone.

West Hull v Saints is being played at Craven Park, Wests Warriors v Leeds is at Headingley and Goole v Wakefield is at Wakefield.

Bit of a farce, really.

Another re-vamp, or reverting to previous years next season I think. As much as I feel like I should go and support, either FC or West Hull, can't help but feel it will turn out to be a dull spectacle

THE 12 SL Clubs should come in same round but should be against the remaining 20 clubs from League one, Championship and if there is any Amateur clubs left.

I'm sure there are good reasons but it takes a lot of the magic away when it's not at an amateur ground.
People compare it to the FA Cup but part of that appeal is watching Arsenal run around at non-league ground.
Suppose the difference is that a lot of football non-league grounds are on a par with some SL grounds.
