The Scunthorpe Alphas host the Merseyside Nighthawks for the Division 1 Northern Championship Game at Quibell Park on Sunday, August 17th.
The Alphas secured promotion to the Premiership with last weekend’s 35-23 playoff win in Glasgow, but there is still one more job to do with the Division 1 Northern title up for grabs.
Providing the opposition are the Nighthawks, who booked their place in the championship game with their upset of the Yorkshire Rams in the semi-finals.
Scunthorpe won the two regular season meetings between the two teams, but the Nighthawks showed with that victory over the Rams that they cannot be underestimated.
This has all the makings of a classic game that you do not want to miss!
Kick-off is set for 2pm, with doors opening at 1pm. Entry is priced at £3 for Adults (£2 with Alphas wristband), with free entry for children (under 16) & OAPs. Free on-site parking is also available.
An Alphas gameday doesn't just end at full-time either. No Alphas gameday experience is complete without a postgame visit to our official venue partner, The Iron Forge. The popular Scunthorpe pub has just undergone a big makeover and offers a great selection of food, beers, wines and spirits.
Players, coaches and club officials will be heading there after games this season, and we would love to see you there too!
