New Earswick All Blacks ARLFC provide the venue tomorrow as the BARLA Under-21s take on the Royal Air Force in the Scottish Courage RL Challenge Cup (kick off 7:30pm).

It is the Station Coaches-sponsored BARLA side's last group match in this season's competition and a win would see them book their place in the cup final for the second time running.

Manager Gordon Robb believes the squad have a great chance to progress. "Although we are missing a couple of lads through injury, I am confident we can turn over what will be a tough RAF side," he said.

"They will be desperate to prove they are a match for anyone on their day and we will have to perform to our best."

Physio for BARLA Under-21s is York Acorn stalwart Stephen 'Jonti' Thompson.

Meanwhile, Heworth stand-off Mick Harrison was named as a runner-up in the National Conference League division two player-of-the-year stakes.
