Magic Weekend line-up revealed

The line-up for the Magic Weekend at the Etihad Stadium in Manchester will feature a mouth-watering climax on Sunday 27th May.

Saturday will see three games played, with its headline game being the Hull derby taking place in the evening. The first game of the weekend will be the Yorkshire derby between Castleford and Wakefield, before Widnes mark their Magic Weekend debut with a derby clash against Warrington.

On the Sunday, Catalan open up with a game against London, before Huddersfield take on Salford.

The weekend then ends with a big double header – Bradford against Super League champions Leeds, and current Challenge Cup holders Wigan taking on St Helens.

“The Magic Weekend is sport as it should be, a wealth of intense and in many cases historic rivalries played out in a fantastic venue,” said Super League Chief Executive Nigel Wood.

“There are some fantastic matches in store and I’m sure we are going to see some bumper crowds at the Etihad Stadium as Super League builds on the success of Magic Weekends at Murrayfield and Millennium Stadium.”
