The RFL can also confirm today that the Final of the AB Sundecks 1895 Cup will kick off at midday at Wembley Stadium on Saturday July 18 – before the Final of the Coral Challenge Cup at 3pm.
Last year, Sheffield Eagles were crowned the inaugural winners of the knockout competition for non-Super League clubs by beating Widnes Vikings at Wembley, with the match being played after the Coral Challenge Cup Final, and kicking off at 545pm.
The traditional Wembley curtain-raiser, the Year 7 Boys Final in the Warners Champion Schools competition, will now have a morning kick-off, before the 1895 Cup Final.
Good. Sensible move.
Great news, because of problems travelling home late after last years game I’d decided not to go this year. But now, if we get there, I will.
Early set off in the morning though!
Very true Flash, but it’s said ... early to bed early to rise, makes a Viking healthy and wise!
Always should have been the Curtain-raiser, didn't work last year (regardless of result too!)
Hopefully, if we got there, we could actually get a train there and back!!
i dont think it will be a priority this season , would be nice to go there and win though
Back into London partying for 3.30pm, leaving Wembley to Toronto and Catalan fans😂🤟
Sensible move.
Spelly.
Seen some moaning about the kids game now being in front of a (mainly) empty stadium - but when has that not been the case anyway?!
