Organisers said Scrapper’s Cup is not just about the rugby, the event offers a great day out for all the family, from photo opportunities with the Super League club’s mascot Ronnie the Rhino, entertainment from the BLDC dance squad, bouncy castles, a raffle and catering from Hog Roast Yorkshire. 

After the games, the action moves to The Swan pub in Low Street, Sherburn in Elmet for an auction of sports memorabilia.

The Scrapper’s Cup is played in memory of Steve ‘Scrapper’ Carter MBE, and raises funds for Mind.

Over the previous eight editions nearly £30,000 has been raised for charities including Lincolnshire and Nottinghamshire Air Ambulance Trust, The British Forces Foundation, Sophie Michelle's Fund, British Heart Foundation,  Macmillan Cancer Support, The Salvation Army and Life for A Kid.
