Whilst the Royals and the Paras play for the Trafalgar Cup in Taunton, GBAF are in action in Widnes in the final round of the Associations Cup

The four teams in the men's competition will meet for the final time in Widnes tomorrow evening, 17th July, to compete for the final placings and bragging rights for the year.

First up at 6pm will be the top of the table clash between the Armed Forces and the Students. Both teams have two victories under their belts with the Students just ahead on points difference so apart from the unlikely event of a draw after 80 minutes it is winner takes all!

Following this match the Teachers and Police teams will contest the 3rd and 4th positions with the match expected to be just as fierce to avoId the dreaded wooden spoon

Both matches will be hosted at the Select Security Stadium by the Widnes Vikings with admission just £3 for adults and £1 for concessions. The stadium is located on Lower House Lane in Widnes Post Code WA8 7DZ

Attention then switches to the other side of the Pennines on Sunday when the final Round of the Ladies competition takes place at the Arthur Miller Stadium in Stanningley Leeds. First off at 1pm are the GBAF and GB Students Ladies. Whilst this match is part of the Associations Cup there is the small matter of the Pankhurst Cup up for grabs. This Cup has been played for between these two sides for several years with the Students currently holding the trophy. The Last match in the competition kicks of at 3pm and sees the GB Lionesses take on the GB Teachers to bring the tournament to a close.
