YORK Valkyrie’s trip to title rivals Wigan Warriors on Sunday has a new time and venue.
Lindsay Anfield’s side had been scheduled to take to the field at Robin Park at 12pm, but due to pitch renovations, the match will now be played at Leigh Miners Rangers' Sutton Park at 2:30pm.
Supporters had been hoping to take in the Valkyrie’s match at Wigan before watching York Knights battle fellow play-off hopefuls Widnes Vikings at 3pm, but will now be forced to pick between the matches.

The Valkyrie, already assured of a place in the Betfred Women’s Super League play-offs, will hope for revenge against a Warriors side showing notable improvements in 2024.
An Eva Hunter double, alongside tries from Ellise Derbyshire and teenager Jenna Foubister saw Wigan run out 18-10 winners at the LNER Community Stadium back in July, with Eboni Partington’s brace not enough to prevent defeat.
With last weekend’s victory at Leeds Rhinos moving York level on points with their next opponents, things are all to play for in the hunt for a home play-off tie.
