Good luck Ovvy. Good set of lads and a lot of happy memories! Before I was a Park Amateur I was playing for the lads in Red n Black.

I think with Ovenden in effect being the "Home" team the club have chosen to list Ovenden's usual kick off time and game day which is Saturdays at 1.30pm at Four Fields (as I understand it). However as the clubs are in negotiation I would expect this to change to Sunday at 3pm at the Shay.

It is up to Ovenden though and they COULD opt for a neutral venue??

Do you think Illingworth will let them use their pitch?

a neutral venue away from halifax would hit the crowd and cost a lot, so is a no go.

I'm not saying it will just that they could. They are the home team and it is up to them where they host the game as long as it meets minimum RL H&S standards

Two of my work mates play for Ovvy so this is a great draw

Be interesting to see how they get on v the Fax lads, slightly intimidating I think
