HARROGATE RU put their Yorkshire Cup title on the line tonight when they take on Doncaster in tonight's final (7.30pm) at Scatcherd Lane, Morley.

Ralph Zoing's defending champions have looked ever confident as they have cruised through to their first back-to-back county final in over a decade.

And having lost to Doncaster in a disappointing end of season run in National Two, Harrogate, who eventually finished the campaign in fourth, will have the chance to set the record straight.

Harrogate will pick from strength after their county quartet of Ed Smithies, Lee Cholewa, Mike Worden and Steve Hobson made it through the 32-30 Roses defeat by Lancashire in one piece.

However, Doncaster were not as fortunate with fly-half Rob Liley breaking his hand in the same game.
