Castleford Tigers v York Knights
Castleford Tigers v York Knights News
The Castleford Tigers welcome the York Knights to North Yorkshire, along the A64 an A1 to West Yorkshire for what should be a great match up between two evenly matched sides that could easily be a match of the round contender.
The Knights will look at the Tigers for inspiration in many ways as the Tigers have not only gone on to establish themselves as a top-flight side since gaining promotion from the 2nd tier, but they also gone on to make it to finals and challenge for trophies.
They may not be at that level at the moment, and they may not have been able to improve their facilites like York have managed but that just likely means York have a better foundation, if they can replicate the on-field achievements of Classy Cas.
Come game day, that won’t matter for much as it will be a game that both sides will target for the win and in a sport where the margins are so fine, such as Rugby League, that could prove to be make or break for both teams.

Tigers vs Knights Latest News Today
With so much news for a matchup such as this one, it can be tricky for fans to keep up with all of the news about the match, especially if you have been at work or out and about, but we make it easier than ever by updating the headlines on this page around the clock to bring you all of the latest news today, when you want them.
Stadium
The match will take place at the Jungle, also known as Wheldon Road, which is a ground that can best be described of been in need of rejuvenation.
More honestly, it’s a dump that needs knocking down and rebuilding from the ground up, with even the pitch not been the correct size.
As it stands, the ground is made up of four separate stands, one of which is a small banking of general access seating that has some cover from the elements and that runs down one side of the field.
At one end of the pitch is a small, covered terrace that houses the bulk of the most vocal home fans.
At the other end is an open terrace that houses the away fans whilst the final stand is a small all-seater stand that acts as the ‘main stand’ at the ground, but it doesn’t have much in the way of facilities.
Location
The town of Castleford sits in the city of Wakefield district and in the county West Yorkshire, deep in the heartlands of the sport and almost centrally along the M62 corridor.
That puts in in a hotbed of the sport with many professional, semi-professional, amateur and junior’s sides all based in and around the city of Wakefield.
It is only a short drive or train ride between the town of Castleford and the city of York, with both based in the traditional county of Yorkshire, although Castleford is now in West Yorkshire and York based in North Yorkshire.
About
This is a Yorkshire derby, between two closely located sides, who both have a long history but despite that, it doesn’t quite have the same derby feel to it as other matches do have.
That is mostly down to the fact that the two haven’t faced off against each other too much for the past few decades but that still doesn’t mean that there isn’t something extra about these matches, as there is still plenty of local bragging rights to play for.
