On Saturday January 25th (Kick off 3pm), London Skolars will face a London Broncos XIII at the New River Stadium in their annual pre-season fixture, which is labelled the ‘London Clash’.
This will be the second scheduled fixture of London Skolars’ pre-season calendar, with the first team in action on January 17th in the club’s showpiece event (labelled the ‘Capital Challenge’), against the 2018 Super League Champions, Wigan Warriors.
Now in its 6th year, ‘The Clash’ will showcase the Capital’s most promising talents. Skolars will be looking to redress the balance against a Broncos Select XIII, seeking a win for the second time in the history of this fixtures.
Charlie de Haan, London Skolars General Manager commented:
“The annual London Clash is a wonderful event. I would strongly encourage fans of both teams and those who may not be regular visitors to the New River Stadium, to purchase a ticket and enjoy an exciting sporting occasion. Both clubs are working hard to enhance Rugby League in the nation’s Capital and this fixture plays a key role”.
Jermaine Coleman, London Skolars Head Coach, added:
“The London Clash is always a good experience for both Broncos and Skolars. It is an opportunity for all London fans to watch their two favourite teams play against each other at the same venue, which doesn’t happen very often. It is an important fixture in our calendar and we look forward to it every year. Broncos always provide strong opposition and prepare the boys for the start of the season. We are hoping we can turn them over and come out on top this time”.
London Broncos Reserves Head Coach, Tom Tsang, commented:
“The new reserve team is a very important part of the Broncos pathway and these players are the future of the club. We need to keep giving them opportunities to learn and develop and this warm up game against a top quality League One side will provide just that. The season will see us playing very high calibre teams and playing against Skolars will provide great preparation.”
An extensive beer, street food and family festival will be on show as the London rugby league season gets underway in N22.
Early bird tickets are £12.50 in advance or £15 on the day.
