NATIONAL League sponsors LHF Healthplan brought York City Knights star Jim Elston and Sheffield's Aled James together to whet their appetite for tonight's showdown by letting them get their hands on the Division Two trophy.
Both sides are on three-match losing runs but remain well in contention for automatic promotion afforded to the team that finishes top.
Elston, said: "This is a crucial night for York and it's a must-win game for both sides so you can expect fireworks.
Elston said: "They have home advantage which is going to be tough to overcome but I'm confident we can upset them at the Don Valley and push on for the remainder of the season."
Sheffield's Welsh stand-off, James, added: "York are having a great season and are a strong outfit, so this should be a good match-up."
